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...
