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...
