Fabulous doco and what an incredible photographer, his photos are truly insightful and moving

[@jasongold6751]

A very sad facts that some stupid camera reviews or fondling a lens like a sxual object gets hundreds of thousands of "Likes" . The world in a dangerous place, when only the objects of desire are important. Bravo Abbas!

The Hidden Agendas and The Nazi Minions:
Last night I found a very interesting documentary about the Iranian photographer Abbas Attar (One of my favourite photographers - among the Thousands of photographers who are my favorite) who is a fellow of Magnum photo agency and his photographs to me are very very moving and obviously that is why he belongs to Magnum. This is a new documentary which I intend to watch intently this weekend.
This documentary is called capturing the Iranian Revolution.
There are photographers thousands of them who are my favorite and whose work I like but that does not necessarily mean just because I like the photography that I agree with the views of the photographer and more importantly the views of the sponsor or the employer of the photographer and their hidden agenda. I don't necessarily agree with those or like those hidden agendas in broadcast in journalism in news reporting most of the time these kind of things are self-serving and to promote some hidden agenda which Magnum always does right, I dislike Magnum's hidden agenda but the photographs are very good, so I see Magnum as a photographic propaganda machine (just like The Nazi Propaganda Machine peopled by Nazi Minions) but the photos are very good so here is the dilemma do I not like the photos because I disagree with the agenda ?
Regarding Magnum many times I see Magnum as working on an agenda for the War-Mongers and for providing fuel for the war-mongers and The Business of War so this is where the tragedy comes in the photographer is enthusiastic and passionate about photography but now must bow down to the employer and provide photographs that are in line with what the employer wants in order to remain employed gainfully employed (The Hidden Agenda).
As I get older and have far deeper understanding for broader knowledge and having gone through thousands of books Non-Stop I start resenting more and more agenda institutions and minions for example the Freemasons other patriarchial secret societies and organizations and institutions and clubs and brotherhoods like I really resent all of these gangs and the minions who belong to them like faithful watch dogs like hungry faithful Watch Dogs I really resent them so much because I see them as criminals against Society for their own selfish agenda and plot. So for those of you who belong to such organizations you know now what is my opinion of you, it is at the very very bottom of the food chain and have the lowest opinion possible it cannot go lower, so low of opinion I have for such individuals and organizations.
So my opinion and judgment is validated in regarding these sort of Minions and Minion organizations as the most Wicked and Foul Scoundrels who exist particularly the Raging Parisian Scoundrels with all their buffoonery and Advanced Secret Sign Language (Hand Gestures and Signals) for Idiots.
Towards the conclusion of the documentary at around 23 minutes and 20 seconds as Abbas is showing the stamps which the Magnum photographer is passed and present used to stamp their contact sheets those wooden rubber stamps are sort of symbolic to Pawn pieces in a chess game and so in my interpretation these stamps are representing these fellows of magnums as Pawns or Pawn pieces in a bigger chess game.
What I also resent so much and a bit unrelated to Abbas and his photography but still within the agenda of the slave drivers are euphemisms and terminologies and labels for example: working class, blue collar, business class, high class, and low class, and Third Class, and poor and impoverished class and First Class so these are all the classifications and hierarchies and Systems of Discrimination and Apartheid set up by these Scoundrels and Slave Drivers.
