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...
