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...
