The Marvelous
Basis of a Free Society
When the 11 Western States and Western Canada and Mexico de-dollarize look out below. This is the reason for the Trump indictment distraction. The Biden administration along with the WEF leaders do not want the people to pay attention to the destruction of the petro-dollar. For that is how they plan to bring in their electronic currency and social credit system. You will not be able to buy or sell without government approval.
Is a plot unfolding to collapse the financial system as we have known it in order to “save” us with the introduction of central bank digital currency? Are we passing from the remnants of democracy and self-government into total tyranny?
A study finds that 200 US banks face the same risk as those that destroyed Silicon Valley Bank. The Federal Reserve’s higher interest rates are destroying the banks’ solvency. Yet the Federal Reserve has not backed off its disastrous policy, and with Credit Suisse’s failure looming, the EU central bank raised interest rates! Yes, people are stupid. But are they this stupid? Could this be intentional with a secret agenda in mind such as digital currency? https://www.rt.com/business/573181-us-banks-risk-svb-collapse/

THE MARVELOUS Basis of a Free Society
by PIERRE MABILLE
Pierre Mabille (1904-1952) was a physician and one of surrealism 's outstanding theorists. Jn 1941 he introduced Andre Breton to voodoo ceremonies in Haiti
Society, which makes us what we are, crystallizes thick shells of understanding all around us. It engenders laws, organizations, prejudices, customs, learned arguments, textbooks, hierarchies and esthetic habits. It is like a cultivated, stratified crust which increasingly tends to separate the inner fire of our being from the sur rounding universe. The human individual is fond of this comfortable cloak, and recognizes its value, but also knows that it is an obstacle to desire and is therefore sclerosis and death. It is the Marvelous, then, which offers possibilities of contact between all that one has within oneself, and all that lies outside.
The Marvelous expresses the need to exceed limits imposed by our very structure--our need for a greater beauty, increased strength, expanded pleasure, a longer lifespan. Extending beyond the limits of space and time, the Marvelous seeks to destroy barriers. It is the struggle of freedom itself against everything that holds it back or tries to destroy or weaken it. The Marvelous is tension-something rather different from routine, mechanical work: tension that is passional and poetic.
The Marvelous takes advantage of every weak spot in the structure of our understanding, just as volcanic fire seeps through faults in rock. It illuminates the attics of children; it is delirium's strange lucidity; it is the light of dreams, the green lightning of passion; it flashes over the masses in times of revolt. And it is also the conjunc tion of desire and external reality-the disturbing instant when we are in tune with Earth itself: when individual and planet agree.
Human society takes a dim view of such phenomena and states of mind. It locks up the "mad." It laughs at dreams and premonitions. It rules out of order everything that does not immediately find its rational explanation. It relegates the Marvelous to an elementary theatrical activity, or to allegory, or the "fantastic," or other cheap phantoms .
In my view, Andre Breton's definition remains best: "The imaginary is that which tends to become real . " For some of us, faith ful to the thought of Heraclitus, oneiric, imaginative, poetic activity is not just a gratuitous game, a vain adornment for idle dilletantes and esthetes-in the contrary, it corresponds to the dangerous zones in which energy is transmuted into tangible reality. We recognize the artist's message as a prophetic prefiguration, a step forward into the unknown.
The Marvelous is a force of renewal, common to all the world's people, of whatever culture or intellectual level. Beyond natural boundaries and special interests, the Marvelous enables us to foresee a deeper harmony, a true human solidarity which has its universal lan guage in poetry and authentic art.
The Marvelous is probably the only reality which sustains our hope in humankind and the future .

Though much has been written and said about artist/activist/statesmen Aimé Césaire, much more needs to written about his partner Suzanne, a brilliant surrealist thinker, and mother of the Afrosurreal aesthetic. Her quest for “The Marvelous” over the “miserablism” expressed in the usual arts of protest inspired the Tropiques surrealist group, and especially René Ménil.
“The true task of mankind consists solely in the attempt to bring the marvelous into real life,” Ménil says in “Introduction to the Marvelous,” “so that life can become more encompassing. So long as the mythic imagination is not able to overcome each and every boring mediocrity, human life will amount to nothing but useless, dull experiences, just killing time, as they say.”
Suzanne Césaire’s proclamation, “Be in permanent readiness for The Marvelous,” quickly became a credo of the movement; the word “marvelous” has since become re-contextualized with regard to contemporary black arts and interventions.
