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...
