FARA Connection

Salem Media Group's Chief Strategy Officer, Brad Parscale, owns and operates Clock Tower X LLC, which is registered as a foreign agent under FARA #7649. The registration was filed on September 18, 2025, disclosing a $9 million contract ($1.5M/month) with the Government of Israel via Havas Media Germany GmbH.

The FARA #7649 filing explicitly lists "integration with Salem Media Network properties" as part of the contracted activities. This documented connection between a FARA-registered foreign agent operation and a publicly traded American media company raises questions under 22 USC 614(b), which requires conspicuous foreign agent disclosure in public communications.
