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...
