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...
