Some legless, triangular-bodied anthropomorphic rock art pecked into pale orange sandstone through the orange/brown desert varnish, with arms extended and bent, and “antennae” coming out of a line-thin head (likely braids), resembling the general form of the electrical pylon in the original post. This artistic style is attributed to the “basketmaker” culture of at least 2000 years ago which predates the invention/introduction of of pottery in the southwest.

Cartoon space aliens Kodos and Kang, from the Simpsons. Behind the aliens, the earth from space is seen on a video screen or window set in a bright pink wall above a bank of sci-fi spaceship controls. The two aliens most resemble large green octopi, except that what would be the body of an octopus is a head whose face has a single eye and a mouth with fangs. On each side of the head are large pointed ears. They are each wearing a space helmet like a clear bubble enclosing their entire head. Below the helmet they are all tentacles. The alien on the left has one tentacle raised on each side, like a human raising their hands. Its mouth is pursed and it is looking off to the side, like someone reacting to surprising news and looking out to see if anyone else overheard it. The alien on the right is likewise looking to the side as if trying to avoid being heard, and its drooling mouth is open as if it is speaking. The pair are known for asking such questions as why the strong humans don’t just eat the weak ones.

A still from Star Trek the Next Generation. A humanoid cyborg alien, part of the Borg hive-mind, stands in front of a turbolift (elevator) door pointing what may be a weapon toward the rest of the room. Angle of view is from below as if the viewer is seated. The Borg increase their numbers primarily by capturing other races and forcibly converting them to cyborgs, destroying their identity as individuals. Catch-phases are “you will be assimilated” and “resistance is futile”.

The sky is mostly obscured by trees but is over half fluffy white clouds with some deep blue.

SOCIAL MURDER Is a term coined by Friedrich Engels in 1845 and used to describe murder committed by the political and social elite where they knowingly permit conditions to exist where the poorest and most vulnerable in society are deprived of the necessities of life and are placed in a position in which they cannot reasonably be expected to live and will inevitably meet an early and unnatural death.

A petroglyph panel with images pecked through dark grey “desert varnish” to expose the underlying orange color of the sandstone. From top left to right, a small elk below a human or possibly bear footprint, a rather wide anthropomorphic form with two capital T-shaped protrusions from the head, the arm and 5 fingered hand from a glyph off the image edge. Left edge again, back half of a horse that is off the edge of the photo, a mounted person with a bow and an artow in flight to the right toward an elk. Smaller and below the elk is another animal possibly a wild sheep. To the right of the sheep is a four-toed foot posdibly bear or human, the top half if two similar feet poke up from the bottom edge of the frame. This art must date from after the Spanish re-introduced horses to the Americas, so probably < 400 years old. Note the human-like figure with the T “horns” resembles the hairstyle of the young lady in the photo.
