A new article every day from the public record: who foreign governments pay in America, what they pay for, and what the filings actually say. The answer first, then the sources.
Justorium bills itself as evidence-based legal research. Its own footer names Clock Tower X LLC and the State of Israel, and FARA filings back that up.
Justorium's homepage and About page carry a footer saying the material is distributed by Clock Tower X LLC on behalf of the State of Israel.
Clock Tower X LLC is FARA registrant No. 7649, and its foreign principals include the State of Israel via Havas Media Germany GmbH.
Piro, Inc. is FARA registrant No. 7732, and its foreign principal is Havas Media Germany GmbH on behalf of the Israel Government Advertising Agency (LaPam).
No. A University of Sydney biostatistician who researches Google Trends addressed the claim directly and said it is incorrect. An odds figure like one in a billion assumes each data point is independent and random in a simple way. Trends data is neither: it is sampled, scaled and carries added noise, and points are correlated. Treating it as a string of fair coin flips produces a dramatic number that the underlying data does not support.
No. As of October 2026 no court has ruled on whether Mitchell Snow's account of Fort Huachuca is true or false. The motions pending in Harpole v. Owens concern personal jurisdiction, whether the complaint states a legal claim, and Tennessee's anti-SLAPP statute. Owens's own motion says the Fort Huachuca allegations are reserved for a later stage. AFNPT also found no independent confirmation of the account in filings or news reporting.
Not reliably. Google Trends draws a new random sample each time a query runs, so the same search with the same settings can return a noticeably different chart from one request to the next. On popular terms the differences are small. On rare terms the spikes can move to different dates or vanish. A chart that cannot be reproduced on demand is not a fixed record of what happened.
No. Google Trends never shows how many searches happened. It takes a sample, divides each point by all searches in that place and time, and scales the result so the highest point in your chosen window is always 100. On a term almost no one searches, one sampled search, or added noise, can be that highest point. A 100 proves ranking, not volume.
No. On July 6, 2026 a magistrate judge denied Brian Harpole's motion for an order requiring the defendants to preserve phones and devices. The judge wrote that the general duty to preserve evidence already applies once litigation is reasonably anticipated, and that the issue could be raised at the case management conference. An earlier AFNPT page wrongly said the motion had never been decided; that has been corrected.
On the record available, no. Mitchell Snow has sworn in federal court that he received none of the money raised in the "For Mitch" GiveSendGo fundraiser, and the platform records AFNPT reviewed are consistent with that. The page was created by Candace Owens, showed about $151,942 raised when AFNPT read it on October 13, 2026, says it is not accepting donations, and does not state where the money went.
The record indicates Owens's side contacted Snow first. In a sworn declaration, Snow states that he did not seek out Candace Owens and that her side reached out to him. AFNPT reviewed his declarations against the available record and found it supports him on this point. No court has ruled on it, and the finding concerns who made contact, not whether Snow's wider account of Fort Huachuca is true.
Yes, in part. Google says charts covering seven days or less use the viewer's local time zone, while charts of 30 days or more use Coordinated Universal Time. A screenshot taken in one zone, about an event in another, can place a point hours away from where a reader assumes it falls. That does not explain away every spike, but it does mean a date read off a chart is not exact enough to prove what happened the day before.
No. Google Trends reports interest at the level of a country, state or metro area, and nothing finer. It cannot locate a search inside a specific building or base, and it does not record the identity of anyone who searched. A spike attributed to the Sierra Vista area covers a whole region of homes and businesses, not Fort Huachuca, and cannot show that a named person searched anything.
No. A Google Trends chart cannot show that. Google says spikes on rarely searched terms "should not be interpreted as real search activity or evidence of individual searches." Fact-checkers and a University of Sydney biostatistician reached the same conclusion about this kind of claim. The charts do not prove that nobody searched, either. They are the wrong tool for the question.

Explainers
A question people are asking, answered first and then sourced.
Justorium.org's own footer says its material is distributed by Clock Tower X LLC on behalf of the State of Israel. FARA filings match. Clock Tower X LLC (No. 7649) files Justorium articles and Facebook, TikTok and Instagram posts with the Justice Department as informational materials for the State of Israel via Havas Media Germany GmbH. Piro, Inc. (No. 7732) filed a Justorium article for Havas Media Germany GmbH on behalf of the Israel Government Advertising Agency (LaPam). The sources do not show who owns the site.
Because the index is relative and sampled. On a term with essentially no real searches, there is no genuine signal, so the sample plus Google's added noise is the entire chart. That produces a flat line with occasional lone spikes to 100. AFNPT tested this with about 1,600 control searches, including invented and cartoon names, and found roughly one rare phrase in three spiking somewhere in the window.
Mitchell H. Snow is a retired U.S. Army sergeant and a Washington State resident. He appeared on Candace Owens's podcast and described himself as an eyewitness who was at Fort Huachuca around September 9, 2025. Brian Harpole, who led Charlie Kirk's security, then sued Owens, her companies and Snow for defamation, saying the account falsely placed Harpole there. Snow represents himself and has filed sworn declarations standing by his account.
The Tennessee Public Participation Act, or TPPA, is the state's anti-SLAPP law. It gives a defendant sued over speech on a matter of public concern a way to ask the court to dismiss the suit early and shift fees, before the expense of full discovery. In Harpole v. Owens, both the Owens defendants and Mitchell Snow filed TPPA petitions, arguing the lawsuit targets protected speech. No court has ruled on them.
Harpole v. Owens is a federal defamation lawsuit filed in Nashville on April 30, 2026. Brian Harpole, who led Charlie Kirk's security team, sued Candace Owens, two of her companies and Mitchell Snow. The complaint says they falsely placed Harpole at a Fort Huachuca meeting on September 9, 2025, the day before Kirk was shot. The defendants have moved to dismiss, and no court has ruled on the facts.
Google adds a small amount of randomness to Google Trends so that individual searches cannot be reconstructed. On high-volume terms this noise is invisible against millions of real searches. On low-volume terms, where the true signal is near zero, the noise can be the largest thing on the chart. That is why a rare term can show a lone spike that does not reflect any real search activity.
As of October 2026, AFNPT found no established fact-check desk that examined the Charlie Kirk Google Trends charts directly. The closest work is on an identical method used after the December 2025 Bondi Beach attack: AAP FactCheck, ABC News in Australia and The Conversation all tested it and found it unreliable, and AAP noted the same kind of claim was made after Kirk's death. AFNPT's own review fills the direct gap.
They used the same tool to reach different kinds of claim. Baron Coleman compared regions, checked a 13-month baseline, and said repeatedly that he did not know who searched or what it meant. Ana Escobar reads spikes on names in one metro area as a record of who visited Fort Huachuca. Coleman's approach is the more careful one. It still cannot show that a search happened, because of how Google builds the charts.

What is new, what is known and what is not, with dates.
Clock Tower X LLC, whose filings list the State of Israel via Havas Media Germany GmbH as foreign principal, amended its agreement with HAVAS Media Network on 2026-10-05. The amendment, signed by Brad Parscale, reflects an "updated fee schedule." Exhibit B lists a "Monthly fee for services" under an agreement dated 09/24/2026. No dollar figure appears. Three informational materials followed, stamped 2026-10-07, 2026-10-09 and 2026-10-13, each an article under Mark Ginsberg's byline.
On July 8, 2026, every district and magistrate judge of the Middle District of Tennessee recused from Harpole v. Owens. The Order of Recusal says a judge from outside the district will be designated by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. It gives no reason. As of the docket's October 12, 2026 update, no order naming a replacement judge appears, which is why the case has stalled before any ruling on the facts.
Several people tried to reproduce the viral Fort Huachuca and Charlie Kirk searches independently. Gary Melton and James Li each walked through the method on video and could not make it produce a stable, reliable result. AFNPT re-ran the searches with the original settings and about 1,600 controls, and found the spikes moved between runs. The shared conclusion is that the charts cannot be reproduced on demand, which is what a reliable record would require.
Google's written warning about one-off spikes appeared on its Trends help page between April and May 2026. Internet Archive copies from August 13, 2025 and April 20, 2026 do not contain the passage; a copy from May 16, 2026 does. This means the warning postdates the September 2025 shooting, a point that favours those who read the early charts. The older page still described Trends as a sample and showed low-volume terms as zero.
The complaint in Harpole v. Owens brings six counts: defamation, defamation regarding professional unfitness, false light, a separate defamation count against Mitchell Snow, civil conspiracy to defame, and aiding and abetting defamation. One defamation count is directed at Snow alone, and the conspiracy count names all defendants. Every count is an allegation by the plaintiff; no court has found any of them proven.
On August 6, 2026, Candace Owens and two of her companies filed a partial motion to dismiss and a petition under the Tennessee Public Participation Act, the state's anti-SLAPP law. The motion argues the complaint fails to state some claims and that the suit targets protected speech. It states that the Fort Huachuca allegations will be dealt with in a later motion for summary judgment. No court has ruled on it.
The case is stalled before any ruling on the facts. Brian Harpole sued Candace Owens, her companies and Mitch Snow for defamation on April 30, 2026. On July 8, every judge in the Middle District of Tennessee recused. Three motions to dismiss are pending. No court has decided whether Snow's account of Fort Huachuca is true or false, and AFNPT found no independent confirmation of it.

How these articles are made
Each claim is quoted with who said it and when, then set beside the record.
Sources are ranked: court filings, FARA filings and official documents first, then established news outlets, then public posts. Every source is linked.
Articles describe statements and evidence. They do not state anyone's intent, motive or guilt.
Findings that support the person or company being reviewed are reported, not left out.
The daily articles are written by AFNPT's automated desk from DOJ filings and established outlets. Before one is published, every statement in it is checked against the source it cites; a statement that cannot be matched is cut, and an article that loses too much is not published. Each says so at the top.
