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...
