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...
