OPERATION   CONTRASTING VALKYRIE   
     IN THE SIXTIES.  THE  CENTRAL    
   INTELLIGENCE AGENCY "CIA" RELEASE  
   AEROSOLIZED  SELATENINE  OVER  A   
  JUPITER EQUINOX CONCERT,  CREATING  
  THE LARGEST SECRET PARADIGM SHIFT   
  THAT THE WORLD  HAS EVER  SEEN.   
  
                                          
 THE JUPITER EQUINOX* CONCERT IS PART  OF 
 A FESTIVAL  IN  BLACK TICKLE ARRANGED BY 
 A GROUP  CALLED EPICENTER OF LOVE. THERE 
 IS  NO   ENTRANCE   BUT   VISITORS   ARE 
 EXPECTED TO HELP WITH  MAINTENANCE. FOOD 
 AND DRINK  IS  SHARED.  MANY  BANDS  ARE 
 PLAYING OVER  THE FOUR DAY COURSE OF THE 
 FESTIVAL, AND THE STAGE IS  OPEN BETWEEN 
 SCHEDULED   CONCERTS.   JUPITER EQUINOX, 
 WHILE AN  UNKNOWN ACT, HAS A PRESTIGIOUS 
 TIMESLOT AT EIGHT IN THE EVENING ON  THE 
 THIRD  DAY,  WHICH  IS  FRIDAY.       
                                          
 EIGHT IS  ALSO WHEN  THE  PLANE  USED TO 
 SPREAD   THE  AEROSOL   LIFTS  OFF.   IT 
 ARRIVES AT THE FESTIVAL ABOUT A  QUARTER 
 PAST,  SOUND  MASKED  BY   THE  CONCERT. 
 AROUND    WHEN   THE   FIRST   WAVE   OF 
 SELATENINE   MUST   HAVE   REACHED   THE 
 AUDIENCE,  THE SONG COMES TO A TENSE BUT 
 QUIET  MOVEMENT,  AND  THE  LEAD  SINGER 
 WALKS   TO  THE   FRONT  OF  THE  STAGE. 
                                          
 SHE SAYS, WITH A  CRYSTALLINE VOICE:  "I 
 HAVE SOMETHING  TO TELL YOU.  I AM NOT A 
 HUMAN  BEING. I AM  NOT  AN ANIMAL  OR A 
 PLANT.  I  HAVE BEEN SENT TO  DELIVER  A 
 MESSAGE TO YOU. A MESSAGE  OF  HOPE. YOU 
 ARE  NOT  ALONE. THERE ARE OTHER  BEINGS 
 IN  THE  UNIVERSE.  THERE  IS  LIFE  OUT 
 THERE,  LIFE  THAT  IS  REACHING  OUT  A 
 HAND. AND IT'S  TIME TO  TAKE THAT HAND. 
 TO REACH OUT  TOWARD THAT  HAND AND GRAB 
 IT IT. IT IS TIME TO  COME HOME. YOU ARE 
 GOING   HOME.  YOU  ARE   GOING   HOME." 
                                          
 THE  SINGER  STANDS  THERE  FOR   A  FEW 
 MOMENTS,  HER  HAND RAISED  IN THE  AIR, 
 BEFORE  THE  REST OF  THE BAND KICKS  IN 
 AND  THE MUSIC  BUILDS TO  A  CRESCENDO. 
 THE  CROWD ERUPTS.  AND  THEN  SOMETHING 
 ELSE  ERUPTS  AS  WELL.  A  CONCERT-GOER 
 DESCRIBES  IT:  "SUDDENLY,   THE   MUSIC 
 SEAMS  BROADER,  MORE  COLORFUL.  I  CAN 
 SOMEHOW SEE  IT, AND I  FEEL THE  OTHERS 
 SEEING  IT,  AND I SEE  IT THROUGH THEIR 
 EYES  AS  WELL.  MEANWHILE  I'M DANCING, 
 AND I  CAN  FEEL  MY BODY AS  I'VE NEVER 
 DONE  BEFORE,  I AM AWARE  OF  EACH CELL 
 AND  EACH  MOLECULE,  ALL  VIBRATING  IN 
 UNISON.  AND  IT'S   ALL  GOING  FASTER, 
 BUILDING UP TO  SOMETHING,  WAKING  UP." 
                                          
 PEOPLE  START  FORMING  CIRCLES, HOLDING 
 HANDS  AND  DANCING.  SOME  ARE  CRYING. 
 SOME  ARE LAUGHING. SOME ARE  SCREAMING. 
                                          
 AND  THEN -  A  FLUTTER - AND  SOMETHING 
 GIVES.    A   SHOCKWAVE   OF   REVERSING 
 POLARITY  IN   THE   ETHER,   AND   LIKE 
 BUTTERFLIES GETTING  HIT  BY A  BURST OF 
 WIND, THE  THIRD EYE OPENS  FOR EVERYONE 
 IN THE AUDIENCE.  AND IT BECOMES A CHAIN 
 REACTION, QUICKLY SPREADING  ACROSS  THE 
 FESTIVAL AREA.  WITHIN SECONDS  THERE IS 
 A   GLOBAL   BLACKOUT.  FESTIVAL   GOERS 
 REGAIN  THEIR  MEMORIES  AROUND  A  WEEK 
 LATER,  THOSE  IN  THE  NEARBY  TOWN  OF 
 BLACK TICKLE  AFTER  A   FEW  DAYS,   IN 
 MONTREAL FOR  THE  EVENING, THE REST  OF 
 AMERICA  MAYBE  AN  HOUR.           
                                          
 AND  THUS,  THE   POPULATION   OF  EARTH 
 HAS  KIND  OF  LEFT  IT'S  MATERIALISTIC 
 BASELINE,  ONLY   THAT   MOST   DO   NOT 
 REMEMBER                             IT. 
                                          
                                          
  
  * THERE'S AN INTERESTING ASPECT TO  
   THE  "JUPITER EQUINOX"  ACT.  IT   
    SEEMS   THERE  WAS  NEVER   ANY   
  JUPITER EQUINOX CONCERTS BEFORE OR  
  AFTER THE ONE IN BLACK TICKLE. THE  
   LEAD SINGER  (ALSO  COLLOQUIALLY   
  REFERRED TO AS  JUPITER) SEEMED TO  
   IMMEDIATELY DISAPPEAR (FOR A LONG  
  WHILE SHE WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN  
  A  CIA  AGENT,  BUT  A  LATER FOIA  
  RELEASE REFUTED THIS). FOR OBVIOUS  
  REASONS, MANY WERE LOOKING FOR ANY  
   TRACE  OF  THE  BAND,  BUT  NONE   
   WERE FRUITFUL.                     
                                      
  RECENTLY, HOWEVER, SOME ATTENTION   
  HAS BEEN DRAWN TO JUNIPER HELDING,  
  A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD POP SINGER FROM  
   ENGLAND WHO  HAS A VERY STRIKING   
   SIMILARITY...
