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...
