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...
