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...
