Ther was the alternate side of the origional vid posted too.
Here is the content of that wiki:
David Abraham
Professor David Abraham is an American historian, psychologist and former head of world history studies at Harvard University. He is now a spiritual advisor to President of the United States, Robert Stenton.
Books of History
The Books of History are leather-bound volumes that are believed to have come from a reality known as "Other Earth". They reportedly possess the power to create and destroy simply by writing in it.
According to historian Ted Dekker, the Books were first discovered in this world by David Abraham in a shipment of relics he had purchased from an Iranian merchant. One book in the shipment captured his interest. It was titled simply The Stories of History, and was blank except for a single entry.
One day, David's five-year-old son Christopher wrote in the book, revealing its power. David determined that only a person with childlike faith could use the book, and that its power was nearly unlimited. He immediately ordered the remaining volumes from the merchant. There were one thousand, four hundred and forty-three books in total.
However, he soon discovered that the books could be used for evil. Deciding that he would rid the world of the books, David had Christopher write in one, "The books of histories are hiding deep in a Colorado canyon, in a home consistent with their nature, where they will remain until the day they are meant to be found by those destined to bring love into the world."
The books vanished. Years later, after an exhaustive search, David found the books in a monastery carved deep into a canyon on the outskirts of Paradise, Colorado. He discovered 666 books in a dungeon, which he locked up, and 777 in an upstairs room.
Project Showdown
Project Showdown was a study in human nature and the power of faith funded by Professor David Abraham. The purpose of the study was to determine if 37 children living in an environment with no outside influence could develop a faith that could literally move mountains.
Twelve monks were installed as teachers, and the children were brought up with a vigorous curriculum that focused on writing. By age ten they were able to think abstractly, and at the age of twelve they were some of the most brilliant writers in the world. They were capable of adult thinking and reasoning, but were untainted by the world's influence.
Then David Abraham accepted a monk, Marsuvees Black, who had a doubtful past. Once a Vegas entertainer, after nine months Black began to lecture onsubjects such as relativity and free will. He disappeared without warning soon after David tried to reign him in. He had retreated into the forbidden dungeons, to which place he soon lured one of the students, Billy. The boy began writing a story about a town called Paradise.
What transpired afterward is the subject of debate. Some say it was supernatural, others that the real story never came out. The entire story of Project Showdown was chronicled by author/historian Ted Dekker.
Ted Dekker
Ted Dekker is an Indonesian-born American author of numerous fiction and one non-fiction books.
His fictional works number over twenty titles, including the hugely popular Black, Red, White, Thr3e, Blink, Showdown, Saint, Skin, Heaven's Wager, Obsessed, When Heaven Weeps, Thunder of Heaven, A Martyr's Song and the co-author of Blessed Child, A Man Called Blessed, and House. Dekker also wrote The Slumber of Christianity, a non-fiction work about misplaced values in the post-modern church.
The proliferation of Dekker's work is in large part due to the volume of writing he produces. It is not uncommon for Dekker's publisher to release three of his books in a single year. Dekker's work often crosses genres, ranging from fantasy to horror. Like the works of Stephen King, many of Dekker's novels are loosely connected to each other and are set in the same universe.

David Abraham Journal ExtractThe X Group
The X Group is a paramilitary organization that provides assassination for hire, espionage and covert terrorism services to rogue states and corporations. The CIA has labeled the Group a "free agent in the death for hire underground."
Though the Group's recruiting practices cannot be confirmed, it is believed that it draws from a talent pool that includes U.S. and foreign special operations entities and former intelligence field operatives.
It is rumored that the Group utilizes psychologically invasive techniques in operative "training" such as Phase 3 memory wipes, torture, and sensory manipulation. Operatives' identities are replaced with new ones and their minds are conditioned to respond reflexively to Group directives.
In its last briefing to the Circle, the NSA was only able to identify four active operatives--Dale Crompton (aka "Englishman"), Jenine (aka "The Ukrainian"), and Carl Strople (aka "Saint"), and Jack Stroud, an accomplished art thief with ties to some of the most well know art thefts of the 21st century. It is believed the Group is financed, at least in part, by its black market relic activities.
The X Group has been labeled a terrorist organization by the United Nations Security Council, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary General, the Commission of the European Communities of the European Union, the United States Department of State, the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the United Kingdom Home Office, and the Swiss Government.
For a detailed investigation of the X Group, see Saint, by author and historian Ted Dekker.
Out of all of this one major clue is definitly in place:
Stroud's first name is Jack, a name I had seen hiding in the pages of Black the graphic novel. The location of this is accrost the street from the alley on the wall. It is only visible in one frame and even then is partially covered. I would also like to mention the java shop sign on the wall in case it comes up later.
There is also a new Journal by DA that reveals much about his work. The link was above in the text but here it is again:
http://www.booksofhistory.com/thelostbooks/DavidAbrahamJournal.pdfthe text is quite extensive, but most importantly has an index card with the following on it:
For Vegas trip..follow up
The Rune 238, W. Sahara
Tattered Page, on Tropicana---James Turner
West End Antique, Joanna Mercer
Whitney Murphey, private collector...555-234-8043
Sin City Books N Suchh---Tuck Landrock, S. Eastern Ave
Boulder City Bookshelf, Winslow ???
Miles Huntley, books a plenty
It then includes a portion of Kara's number on a sticky note, which is 615-555-????
Today people were called by a 615 area code number, and this was it:
1-615-261-9460
We might think of calling the whitney murphey number with a 615 at the beginning but don't know whether we should.
After all this was a burned page of chosen, page 236, which talks about the riddle again.
If you think I have missed somthing please post below and I will ammend this article however needed.
