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...
