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...
