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...
