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...
