The next world war will not be invisible. | fullscreen please |

After the success of STUXNET, a virus written by the United States to destroy Iranian uranium enrichment facilities, the U.S. government could no longer deny it was developing cyber weapons meant to do physical damage. With US companies and agencies under constant attack from state-sponsored Chinese hackers, it is only a matter of time before tensions boil over and more sensitive infrastructure is targeted. As more of our devices (cars, homes, etc) become connected, we will become more and more vulnerable to the physical threat of cyber warfare.

What if everything you knew about the history of Dungeons & Dragons was wrong?

6 Years, 12 Cities, 200 Hours of Interviews, 20,000 Documents and Photos: An unprecedented investigation into the history of D&D – the game that spurred a multi-billion dollar industry.

Be among the first to know the Secrets of Blackmoor.

Blackmoor is the name of a fictional world created by David Arneson. It is also the prototype of Dungeons & Dragons, the first published role playing game. Unlike other fantasy worlds, such as J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth, Blackmoor is a living world that is being explored to this day. Secrets of Blackmoor investigates the origins of the role playing game, through candid interviews, archival footage, and newly discovered artifacts.

In 1963, David Wesely becomes a founding member of a club that includes history buffs, model makers, and miniature collectors. Hiding within the group, however, are a bunch of college students who are interested in war gaming. Within a year, the gamers meet a high school kid named Dave Arneson who is playing war games with his friends in his parents’ basement.

These gamers have no idea that they will change the face of this hobby forever. Their only concern for now, is how to simulate the reality of war, and above all, they just want to have fun. Their voracious hunt for new rules and knowledge leads them to the University of Minnesota Library where they discover an old manuscript, Strategos; the American Game of War. Within the dense pages are a few sentences that inspire them.

The influence of Strategos changes how they play their war games. But are they really following these old rules, or have they stumbled onto something truly unique by misinterpreting what it says? Should a game be constrained by rules, like Monopoly, or should there be no boundaries at all, like a game of make believe?

One thing is very clear–something magical was going on in the Twin Cities.

Katie J’s Testimony v. Donald J. Trump:
Alleging he tied, beat, raped and threatened her with murder when she was 13 years old

Restrictions: No video nor sound reproduction, nor distribution of any kind, permitted without express written authorization from the controlling trust. Limited “Fair Use” quoting and stills lifted from this content hereby granted for bona fide journalistic purposes; long verbatim transcripts are prohibited. Four postable video excerpts, however, are available at http://j.mp/2lgYD4x along with other data.

In this video, Katie Johnson aka “Jane Doe” alleges that Donald J. Trump, the 2016 Republican Presidential nominee, bound her, beat her, raped her, robbed her virginity and threatened her with murder, in Manhattan, during the summer of 1994, when she Katie was 13-years-old.

According to federal claims to U.S. Courts (visible at http://j.mp/2lgYD4x) plus this video testimony, Donald J. Trump was aided and abetted in the alleged crimes by now-convicted sex offender Jeffrey E. Epstein, at whose New York City home, the “Wexner Mansion” on 9 East 71st Street, the sexual assaults against 13-year-old Katie (aka “Jane Doe”), 12-year-old “Maria Doe” and possibly other minors allegedly occurred.

Lisa Bloom, attorney for many sexual assault victims,wrote compellingly in The Huffington Post “Why The New Child Rape Case Filed Against Donald Trump Should Not Be Ignored” (http://j.mp/2NQUSAl).

Bloom noted that Katie Johnson’s federal lawsuit, mysteriously withdrawn on 11/4/16 just before the election, contained something most rape claims do not: An alleging eyewitness, code-named “Tiffany Doe,” who attests that she procured Katie and other underage girls for sexual activity with Epstein and Epstein’s guests, of whom Trump was one. By October, 2016, Katie’s claims also were backed by an additional witness, “Joan Doe.”

If it’s all true, what occurred at Manhattan’s “Wexner Mansion” during the “Eyes Wide Shut” 1990s would seem to exceed, for sheer debauchery and criminality, anything Kubrick depicted in his final film. What follows is a message from the videographer Jonathann Launer (http://j.mp/32rmSxZ

To whom it may concern,

My name is Jonathann Launer. I am an award winning filmmaker in Los Angeles. In February 2016, I was hired to film an interview with Katie Johnson, who apparantly had some Donald Trump story to tell. I drove to San Diego, and met Ms. Johnson. She was there with Al Taylor. She began the story, and she accused Mr. Trump of rape, and was very detailed in her allegations.

Now just to be very clear, I have no personal agenda, no beef with Mr. Trump, and no political affiliations whatsoever. I was simply there as a hired gun to do what I do. Film. As the interview went on, she gave more and more graphic detail about the alleged rape. I could tell she was very upset and genuinely disturbed. She was shaking and had to compose herself several times during the interview.

I am not an expert in psychology, and don’t claim to diagnose her mental state, but I DO know acting when I see it. I do not believe she was acting. I believed she was telling the truth as she saw it. Now, I’m not accusing Mr. Trump of anything, as I was not there. But what I saw in Ms. Johnson’s interview was very convincing. I have no stake in this whatsoever, and have nothing to gain. I have no ownership in the footage. Like I said, I was just hired to do a job.

NOTE: On July 7, 2016, the underlying, non-blurred edition of Katie J’s Testimony was received by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) and Martin “Marty” Baron, Editor of The Washington Post, via couriered DVD. On July 9, the same non-blurry version was hand-delivered to the front door of House Speaker Paul Ryan’s home in Janesville, WI; to Sidney “Skip” Bliss, owner of The Janesville Gazette; and sent as well to Charles G. Koch, CEO of Koch Industries, Wichita, KS.

During the Cleveland GOP Convention he chaired and going into November, Speaker Ryan’s endorsement of Trump for President was constant, as were the endorsements of many others here who knew or should have known of Katie’s legal claims:

A dying professor transfers all of this knowledge (and hatred of his fellow humans) to an indestructible robot who can create force fields that repel all energy and matter! That sounds like kind of a jerk thing to do.
