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...
