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...
