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...
