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...
