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...
