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...
