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...
