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...
