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...
