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...
