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...
