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...
