A strange world — it’s as if everyone has forgotten that we are mortal.

USPA NEWS - What Has Become of Humanity?
In a world drowning in chaos and cruelty, we must ask ourselves: Have those who wield power forgotten that they too are human? Or have they become mere shadows—cold, unfeeling puppets in a merciless game of control and greed?

Where is the compassion that once bound us as a species? Where has justice fled in the corridors of power? The cries of millions are drowned out beneath the deafening roar of weapons and political gamesmanship. Rights that were once sacred have become hollow promises, manipulated and twisted by those who claim to uphold them.

Is Putin’s relentless war on Ukraine a symbol of unstoppable tyranny? Is Trump’s legacy nothing but a bitter tale of divisiveness and oppression? Are figures like Ali Khamenei and Kim Jong-un merely worse reflections of humanity’s darkest impulses—cruel tyrants cloaked in power?

What has happened to us? How did we come to a place where empathy is a weakness, and violence the currency of politics? Is there any hope left for a world where humanity is more than just a word—where equality, dignity, and peace are not just ideals, but realities?

Do you know that every moment we breathe, children around the world are being killed due to government violence and incompetent, ruthless politicians?

According to the official UNICEF report, over 240,000 children were killed last year as a direct result of wars, armed conflicts, and state repression worldwide. This figure includes children under 18 in crisis zones such as Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and other conflict-affected areas.

UNICEF emphasizes that these numbers only represent the tip of the iceberg, as many war-torn regions lack accurate reporting.

While these innocent children lose their lives because of failed policies and endless wars, we continue to turn away from the truth, remain silent, and sometimes even indifferent.

What must be done?

We must say enough! We are not slaves to governments or politicians. We are the rightful owners of our countries and lands. The governments ruling us must serve us, not dominate us.

Their rights, their rise to power, their seat in authority—all exist because of us, the people.

So what right do politicians have to enjoy luxury cars, the finest hotels, and palaces while being blind and deaf to the pain and suffering of their people?

Why should the best be reserved for them when we, the ordinary people, struggle every day?

Are they not workers and servants who should lead our countries toward development, justice, and peace?

And if we were not here, neither would they be.

I, you, and all the people—we are the true owners of this land. We must raise our voices to end this injustice and oppression.

Last night, Trump dreamed about which tariffs to impose tomorrow.
Macron got slapped by his wife.
Kim Jong-un accidentally makes another bomb.
Putin kills children and entire generations.
Khamenei increases executions day by day.
More and more young people are being killed.

And we?
What amazing spectators we are!

Have we forgotten that they became leaders because you and I chose them?

What do these mad politicians really want from human rights?

What are they saying?
What do they want?

It’s sad that we still imagine there are secret hands pulling their strings!
No, no, no.

They are not some mysterious beings controlling the world.
They are not more powerful than you and me.
There is nothing hidden behind the scenes!

The truth is, you don’t believe it —
because they don’t want you to believe it!
We ourselves have created these illusions.

But the reality is that politicians have nothing to hide, and the messy world of politics is exactly what we see.
We know it — no more, no less.

Madmen have become our leaders.

The fight between Trump and Musk is real —
it’s not a joke, not a comedy.
They are exactly who they appear to be,
far from us, and stuck in their own backward world.

Humanity is trapped in a deep, dark pit.
Superstitions have taken over us.
Every day it seems we are moving forward,
But in reality, we are being pushed further back.

The world is made by our own hands,
And these are not just psychological suppressions,
They exist within our very thoughts.

Courage has disappeared.
They have created Superman and Spiderman for us
So we believe there are heroes outside of us,
But that is not true.

A hero is a father who works from dawn till dusk.
A hero is a mother who endures nine months of pain and gifts a child to society.
A hero is a brother who does everything for his sibling.
A hero is a human who does not differentiate between genders
And recognizes all women and men by one name: Human.

The heroes are the people,
But until we loudly understand the meaning of democracy,
This world will be ruled by madmen;
Madmen like Seyyed Ali Khamenei,
Who still cannot tolerate a strand of a woman’s hair
And imagines that God has forbidden it!

This madman is the leader of one of the richest, oldest, and most civilized countries in the world.
I don’t know how this is possible!

Think about it,
Do you have any answer other than that we have been deceived?

Let this article remain as a legacy for future generations,
So they do not allow themselves to be mere actors for the directors of madmen.
Our lives have been spent in vain,
I wish they may find peace.

With all my heart, I thank you for reading this article.
I have never been, nor am I, a journalist.
I am simply someone who has suffered too much from telling the truth.

For this reason, Ali Khamenei has issued a ruling of sedition and a national security threat against me,
And I am now in exile—
A strange and painful exile.

I am responsible for this article,
