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...
