By now, you have probably heard that a video has surfaced of Ray Rice, a football player for the Baltimore Ravens, belting his wife in an elevator in Atlantic City and knocking her out.

It wasn't the first time he hit her, and he had already been criminally prosecuted for hitting her. But up to now, suspending him a couple of games is all the Ravens or the NFL ever did; they mostly soft-pedaled it. But when this video came out, the Ravens swiftly cut him from the team, and the NFL banned him. 

I'll warn you that the video is very disturbing. First, he hits her, and she collapses into unconsciousness. Now, you'd think that after doing that and seeing the effect, that he would come to his senses, and go to her aid, and begin to attend to her. But no, he starts dragging her limp body around like a sack of potatoes. As I said, it's very disturbing. 

What does it have to do with the JFK assassination and Oswald innocence? Nothing. But, it does show the power of imagery. You see, they all knew that he was doing this kind of thing, but they didn't have to see it. They didn't have to look at it. But, then they did. And when they did, they realized that there was no more room to placate and bull shit. It didn't matter how good a player he is. He had to go. That's the power of the imagery. 

And we have that power of imagery in the JFK assassination because we have two images of Lee Harvey Oswald standing in the doorway right when the slaughter of President Kennedy was going on.  And those images, from the Wiegman film and especially from the Altgens photo are the strongest and most compelling evidence that there is that Oswald was innocent.  

So, don't anyone tell me that there are "better way" to vindicate Oswald than to point to these images. There are not. Imagery has power. And that was proven today following the release of the video of Ray Rice savaging his poor wife.
