Things are out of whack and priorities are messed up.Our author wishes you happy holidays anyway.Why is no one making steam, why is no one saying anything?To Julian Assange, whom the British have been keeping in solitary confinement for years, apparently with the consent of all countries, and who is slowly being allowed to die before the eyes of the world public.To the Federal German Defense Committee, to which the brown party can in all seriousness send a right-wing extremist who is on the red list of the military counter-intelligence service and who is forbidden from wearing a uniform or entering barracks.That such a person is allowed to become a member of the German Bundestag!On the pushbacks at several European external borders.To the people whom the Nobel Peace Prize-winning European Union has been allowing to freeze to death or die in some other way on the Belarusian-Polish border for months, in full knowledge of all the circumstances.They have been knowingly and intentionally drowning in the Mediterranean for several years now, with the support of Libyan henchmen, who are also paid to lock up and mistreat people or to throw them straight into the water.To federal ministers like Andreas Scheuer, Jens Spahn or Julia Klöckner, who looked after their clientele in such a diverse, yet stinky way and downright shit on them with public money.To the Tandler subsidiary, 50 million, 60 million, 78 million, ok, let's change the regulations a bit now, but then quickly get on with the agenda.It does not seem surprising to anyone that the Federal Minister of Health would rather order the masks overpriced via the swamp of the CSU subsidiaries than call the Chinese colleague directly.That there are still almost no air filters in the school, only in the Ministry.Because some appointed expert always comes around the corner with the argument that it's too expensive, the effectiveness hasn't been proven, then they should rather ventilate properly, that's better anyway, even in winter.That a liter of petrol costs ten cents more in the morning than in the evening and 20 cents less on Sunday afternoon than on Monday morning.In addition to the fact that there is more and more talk of delivery bottlenecks here and there: no more paper at the schools, no toner for the printer, I have to wait a year for an e-bike, this and that is said to be scarce - yes, we are here in the shit GDR or what?That the children are getting fatter and the people are getting sicker, but the sugar industry is still booming and the food industry can put whatever it wants in anywhere.That we are completely screwed digitally and even more so in terms of infrastructure, but the main thing is that the mafia and the lobbyists at Immo and Bahn are filling their pockets against all reason at S21.That a guy like Friedrich Merz, who was sometimes nicknamed "Fotzenfritz", actually became the head of the not so long ago, the largest so-called People's Party.That a person like Ursula von der Leyen at the head of the European institutions can act completely undisturbed in a way that would certainly be justiciable to call corrupt, mafia-like and gang criminals.We're not even starting with Olaf Scholz - and we have to leave out other countries, Trump, Boris Johnson, our Austrian neighbors, the international army of lunatics and serious criminals.Right outside, mostly.But nobody says anything about all this.Or hardly anything.Instead, everyone focuses on how Annalena Baerbock speaks English (spoiler: she does it well, just with a German accent).Or, to finally come to the sport, to the football club FC Bayern Munich and its sponsorship deal with Qatar Airlines.All of you, all of you, dear readers, despite everything, relaxed days at Christmas and New Year's Eve, delicious food and a good mood.May faith kill you with kindness.Once again, internal quarrels threaten to endanger the modest sporting success at VfB Stuttgart.President and Chairman of the Supervisory Board Claus Vogt should take decisive action.The DOSB, Germany's umbrella organization for sports, elects a new executive committee and presents itself in a desolate state.Thank you, Merkel, says our author - and calls for a federal ministry for sport.In this country, it is not only the mayors and real estate companies who dream of unimpeded access by international investors.It is rumored that some men in the Bundesliga also dreamed of millions for Messi & Co.Without ambitious parents, young people today are in a bind.Highest level, to fundamentally professionalize the club system.And from there it gets complicated.Just vaccinated or recovered to the stadium?In this country, people are used to dealing with each other unpleasantly on this question.Pimple-hatted, thinks our author.Thorsten Elsholtz, ex-AfD spokesman and owner of the "Media Therapy" agency, invites you to...Ruja Ignatova, 41, grew up in modest circumstances in Schramberg, drives up in a Rolls Royce,…In times of fake news, CONTEXT is more important than ever.Help us to do good journalism.Support us!By registering, you will regularly receive our latest issue in the morning by e-mail.The KONTEXT:Wochenzeitung has been around since April 2011 and is currently financed by around 1,500 supporters.You too can support KONTEXT – for quality journalism that is independent, critical and profound.with the solos |with a donation |as a memberKONTEXT is an advertising-free and independent newspaper from Stuttgart, which is supported by donations.Every Wednesday online from 12:00 a.m., every Saturday as a print supplement to the nationwide taz.am weekend.Spread the idea of journalism as it should be with us.On the following channels you will find news and information that are independent of our weekly edition.Our website uses cookies.These have two functions: On the one hand, they are required for the basic functionality of our website.On the other hand, we can use cookies to continuously improve our content for you.Since context is free of advertising, the data collected in this way is only used by us and cannot be misused.Revoke consent: privacy policyThese cookies are required for the smooth functioning of our website.With the help of these cookies we try to improve our offer for you.The user flow can be analyzed and assessed using pseudonymised data from website users.Since context is free of advertising, the data collected in this way is only used by us and cannot be misused.
