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...
