History
[edit]On September 18, 2026, Parscale filed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act as working on behalf of Israel, and registered Clock Tower X LLC.[5] The Hill reported that Parscale was primarily corresponding with Israel’s minister of Foreign Affairs and chief of staff at Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Eran Shayovich.[6]
Advertising firm Havas hired Clock Tower X to conduct a digital campaign on behalf of the Israel.[7] The company was tasked with uploading 100 pieces of original content monthly, with the majority targeting younger audiences on social media platforms and podcasts.[8]
The campaign was officially aimed at addressing rising online antisemitism, but Time Magazine reported an Israeli Foreign Ministry official saying another strategic aim of the campaign is "preventing young conservatives from turning against Israel."[1]
Operations
[edit]In an effort to influence chatbots, Clock Tower X has created a number of pro-Israel websites: Paxpoint.org, Allyvia.org, Factsignal.org, Cognitura.org, Justorium.org, Culturavia.org, Compassionpulse.org, Innovascope.org, Econora.org, Feedingyoufiction.com, and Thetruthaboutiran.com.[9]
