Throughout history, influential politicians have often been seen as shapers of destiny and architects of society. However, some may believe that, behind their visible authority, they function more like puppets controlled by unseen forces than as independent leaders. This view suggests that true power lies elsewhere, with politicians serving as public faces for deeper, more ingrained interests.

Certainly, some independent individuals with strong personalities have risen to the top to realise their ideas, such as Napoleon and Hitler. However, the modern political landscape is shaped by complex networks of corporations, lobbyists, and special interest groups that wield significant economic and informational influence. These groups often set policy priorities and legislative agendas. Politicians, even charismatic ones, depend on them for campaign funding, media support, and advice. In return, their decisions may be subtly or overtly influenced to benefit those maintaining the political machinery.

Furthermore, bureaucracies, party apparatuses, and global institutions further diminish individual agency, ensuring that politicians follow established paths rather than forge new ones. Dissenters risk marginalisation, while conformists are rewarded with stability and progress.
In conclusion, although influential politicians seem to possess significant power, their actions and decisions are often dictated by external forces; they frequently serve as puppets on the public stage—animated not by their own will, but by the hands that pull their strings. If we examine their behaviour and interpret their language through their speech, we can easily read between the lines: they speak clearly and directly when they are prepared for what they need to say, but when caught unawares by a new, unexpected topic, they start babbling and repeating themselves.

In my view, the world aims to dissolve the individual into the crowd, with personality fading away under the “New World Order” to facilitate control.

As you might know, yesterday marked the arrival of the Spring Equinox and the Persian New Year. I feel a twilight sensation between grief and bliss. However, I could just be hopeful that the coming year will be filled with peace, freedom, and justice.

I hope that next year, flowers will blossom instead of bullets, bombs, or executions. 💖🌹
