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...
