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...
