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...
