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...
