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...
