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...
