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...
