The Three-Step Machine

We mapped 238 accounts on x that were pushing false narratives. Here's what we found...

Step 1: Seed

Only 4 accounts start most of the false claims. Think about that: a handful of sparks lighting fires seen by millions

Step 2: Amplify

194 accounts repeat the false claim at high speed. This makes it feel “everywhere.” It’s not grassroots—it’s an echo chamber built to fool you.

Step 3: Normalize

40 accounts—big voices, media, politicians—make the claim sound real. Once they say it, regular people assume it’s true. That’s the stamp of approval.

This is how they maintain control of the media cycles folks.

So the Machine = Seed (4) → Amplify (194) → Normalize (40). It’s simple. A false story doesn’t go viral by accident—it’s engineered.

How it works: False story seeded. Dozens blast it at once (Amplify). Big voices repeat it (Normalize). By the time you see it, it feels like “common knowledge.”

Why it matters: Most people only see Step 3. They think “the news is saying it, must be true.” But behind the scenes, Step 1 + 2 built the illusion.

Receipts: We cross-checked public data & independent reports. 238 nodes mapped. Roles assigned. Machine exposed.

What you can do: Don’t take bait from Step 1. Don’t boost Step 2 echo. Question Step 3 “official” voices. This breaks the Machine.

This is The Three-Step Machine. Small sparks, loud echoes, big voices. Now you’ve seen how it works. Share this so others know.
