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...
