EXOPOLITICS: The Discovery of Life on Mars by
Andrew D. Basiago with Alfred Lambremont Webre -- Part I:
The Beings on the Edge and the Humanoid Beings in the
Rock Garden and on Tsiolkovski Ridge

Summary: Part I of a conversation with Andrew D. Basiago about his discovery of life on Mars in NASA photograph PIA10214, which is a panoramic montage of a series of snapshots of the Martian surface that were taken by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit in 2007, when Spirit was perched on the western edge of the Home Plate plateau in the inner basin of the Columbia Hills range of the Gusev Crater on Mars. How NASA photograph PIA10214 contains evidence of four different types of humanoid beings, animal species that exist, once existed, or have never existed on Earth, carved statues, built structures, and dead bodies. How the iconic figure of a human female found jutting from the edge of a plateau in the NASA photo is actually part of a complex statue that combines human male and female figures, a pediment, and a painted rock carving of a plumed serpent biting the neck of a bearded male human. How humanoid beings with bulbous heads and spindly bodies are plainly visible in The Rock Garden and on Tsiolkovski Ridge.
