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...
