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...
