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...
