Eleven Masks · One Author · One Foreign Agent
Eleven websites present themselves as independent research institutes. They share one WordPress build, one byline, and one operator: a firm registered with the U.S. Department of Justice as a foreign agent of the State of Israel. Here is the documented map.
The tell is not in any single article. It is in the plumbing. All nine core sites run an identical WordPress and Elementor build. Their privacy policies are 98.6 to 99 percent identical once the brand names are stripped out, and each one names Clock Tower X LLC as its operator. Across one 199-page federal filing, roughly 97 percent of the articles' citations point back at their own sibling sites, and twenty-five passages describe another site's content as "our analysis."
The network went live in October 2025 with a single site and grew by roughly one new "institute" every three weeks. Its human audience is negligible: eight followers on one video channel, a few hundred on another. Its intended audience is machines, the search and AI systems that increasingly answer Americans' questions. The contract behind it, filed with the DOJ, commits to "deployment of websites and content to deliver GPT framing results on GPT conversations."
