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...
