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...
