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...
