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...
