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...
