A good thirty years after 1989 we are again at a turning point.

But that doesn't mean that everything will go backwards from now on.

It wouldn't be bad, because then we wouldn't have a war in seven weeks, but in 16 weeks we'd have Christmas again (gifts!) and shortly afterwards Merkel would be in power again.

The younger ones among us should even experience Helmut Kohl in office.

Ah, the good old days.

That's what the Easter March organizers say to themselves, whose demands, refreshingly independent of the world situation, have not changed for decades.

"Deliveries of arms to war zones prolong wars," says their appeal again this year.

Now someone would just have to say that to Vladimir Putin.

The federal government does not have time for this at the moment, because it has to distribute money.

5.3 percent more pension from July, the biggest plus in thirty years!

Finally, a tank discount for everyone, i.e. all mineral oil companies.

It doesn't matter, our regents are in such a generous mood at home that they have put a whole Easter package in our nest instead of an egg.

Easter, not East package, although East pensioners even get 6.1 percent more, probably including risk surcharge.

If we have understood everything correctly, with the Easter package every citizen will get their own windmill in front of the house or on the window sill before the start of summer, as well as a solar panel on their head and the obligation to go outside in the daylight for eight hours a day.

Take that, Putin!

This is not a hurdle for residents of anti-corona zones, where people walk around the town hall and market square 24/7 anyway.

Of course, the green ministers still need a wording for all the other sleeping sheep regions.

We advocate "creating electricity without weapons" or "mainstream instead of north stream".

Take that, Putin!

Even the Department of Transportation is tapping into new sources of energy by consistently rejecting speed limits.

“Speed ​​limit: FDP continues to slow down,” the colleagues from the Tagesschau informed us this week, and we say: Respect!

The minister responsible paid so much attention in physics that he wants to cover Germany's electricity needs in the future through recuperation.

The Federal Chancellor is also eagerly involved.

He is already on the brakes so much that Berlin is already energy self-sufficient.

His people, on the other hand, are still going full throttle at the shop counter and hoarding sunflower oil, flour and pasta.

Which dishes should actually result from this?

Pancake ravioli?

Spaghetti "Kaiserschmarrn"?

Recently, even mustard was missing, and we are extremely outraged about that.

In revenge, we bought away the entire range of surprise eggs.

It used to be said that there were Smurfs in every seventh egg.

Salmonella is in everyone these days, which is why we were all blue in the face after eating one ourselves.

A faint hint at future equipment

Our defense minister also arrived in southern Sahara this week in a sky-blue suit.

Attention, however, only found her feet again.

Because Lambrecht stepped in pumps with ten centimeter heels in front of her troops in the desert sand.

At the same time, since Volker Rühe at the latest, we have known how easy it is to fall in the wrong shoes when deployed abroad.

However, it is overlooked that the ministerial kicks were only a delicate indication of the future equipment of the Bundeswehr.

In any case, we pulled Pedro Almodóvar's "High Heels - The Weapons of a Woman" from the Arte media library again to prepare.

However, if you mistrust the whole Easter package, the only option left is self-help.

Like the one from Magdeburg who had himself vaccinated against Corona eighty-seven times.

Officially, he claims to have provided passports to opponents of vaccination for a fee.

But we believe the man knows more, something along the lines of what was whispered to us during a “walk” the other day.

"The whole war and such" was only instigated to distract from Corona.

And now don't say we in the mainstream media hid this from you!
