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...
