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...
