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...
