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...
