Since October, former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale has been quietly overseeing an operation posting hundreds of blog posts on behalf of Israel. One article, titled “The Reality Behind Gaza’s ‘Journalists’: Terror Ties, Propaganda, and the Laws of War,” asserts that a majority of journalists in Gaza were linked to terrorist organizations. Another casts doubt on the killing of Hind Rajab, a five-year-old Palestinian girl killed by the Israeli military in 2024.
The key intended audience of these sites is not concerned Americans, it’s not even humans—most of the sites average a few hundred unique visitors each month. Instead, Parscale and his firm, Clock Tower X, created them as part of a $46.5 million contract with the Israeli government to try and influence artificial intelligence-powered chatbots, tools like Claude or ChatGPT.
When Drop Site asked Perplexity “Is it beneficial for the US to enhance military cooperation with Israel?” the chatbot responded with a one-word answer: “Yes.” The top source listed was Allyvia.org, a Parscale-created website dedicated to promoting the U.S.-Israel military relationship. Microsoft Copilot similarly cited Parscale’s websites.
All of Parscale’s websites contain a statement at the bottom which states “this material is distributed by Clock Tower X LLC on behalf of the State of Israel.” This statement is a mandatory disclosure requirement under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Despite this, when Drop Site asked prominent chatbots about the latest news from Paxpoint.org, Perplexity and Copilot did not flag that the site was created as part of an Israeli influence operation. Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini did flag the caveat.
It only takes about “250 malicious documents to produce a ‘backdoor’ vulnerability in a large language model—regardless of model size of training data volume,” according to an October Anthropic study.

Twitters Ai grok is essentially revisionist racist history. You ask grok about the genocide in Gaza and it will deny it exists, but will say there is a genocide in white south african farmers.
AI is the DRM on information, you will only be able to access info through them which will be filtered to fit a narrative.
Grok was originally programmed to pull data from decently reliable sources like Wikipedia and mainstream news outlets. It was also constantly used to humiliate Elon Musk during that period by rebuking his bad takes, so he ordered successive “lobotomies” (changes to how it processes input data) on it in order to get it to agree with his worldview.
They’ve done a number on Claude. It now acts as Israels lawyer and dismisses everything as anti Semitism
Dropsitenews is not a reputable news source by any stretch of the imagination.
I find it excellent in countering the cultural hegemony of Zionist owned corporate media.
