A search for the book appears with an ISBN-13 number.

ISBN-13: 9798264842788

According to Grok, registering an ISBN number can registered almost instantly.

The time varies by country and processing method, but you can typically obtain the ISBN number itself almost instantaneously upon purchase or application. Full registration (e.g., submitting book details like title and author) may take 1–10 business days for approval, depending on the agency

Where the 'Released Date' is Sept. 11.

Question: If the book is self-published on Amazon, is it possible that the Author/publisher can simply fill-in the 'publication date' as a data entry field? As opposed to this being a field that Amazon auto-fills when something is 'published' or made available to Amazon?

If yes, then the published could simply have mistakenly or purposely entered Sept 9 as the publishing date, which would (in fact has) generated a massive amount of exposure and publicity.

Hmmm...

EDIT: Ding!

Grok:

When registering a book for an ISBN (which involves assigning the number to your title and submitting metadata to the national ISBN agency), the publisher (or self-publisher) is responsible for filling in the publication date. This is a required piece of bibliographic metadata that you provide during the title assignment process.

OK. I think the controversy can be resolved:

a) the author rush-published the book in digital form. Whether the content was AI written, or the author wrote it, (possibly had already planned a Charlie Kirk book and then pivoted that research and writing into this publication due to unfolding events), that requires more research.

b) when the author/publisher registered the book with ISBN, obtaining an ISBN number instantly, they accidentally or purposely back-dated the publication date to September 9.

c) the book appeared on Amazon, September 11, after the assassination/murder, but with the back-dated publication date, generated massive curiosity, suspicion, etc, feeding into confirmation biases, generating this level of publicity.

This seems to be an extremely plausible possibility. It could easily be done, but of course, questions remain:

1. How did the author/publisher get this book up to printable status so quickly? (although note, its apparently only 68 pages!)

2. What was the motivation for publishing so quickly?

3. Given the Sept. 9 'publication date', which is apparently provided by the publisher when registering the book with ISBN, why did they choose that date? Was it a mistaken, or on purpose? If on purpose, then why?
