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...
