Lewts Issues Masonic Charters
The Masonic (?) Charter delivered by Lewis, as Sri (Rever- end) Sobbitha Bikkhu,’ to the illegitimate Belgian Sovereign Sanc- tuary of the Freemasonic Rites of Memphis and Mizraim, to which the illegitimate Grand Lodge of Santa Fe, Argentine, South America, is attached, is described in the official Bulletin of the Grand Lodge of Santa Fe, the Organ of Fra Troilo, in the No- vember issue, 1933, No. 24, page 17, as follows:

However, this “Special Charter,” extraordinary and universal, of incontestable and uncontested authority, issued by the arch- pretender of the universe, did not prove to be of great value, even unto those irregular and expelled Memphis-Mizraim Masons with whom he conspired. After the Congress of Brussels, in which they aided him in creating Fupos1, an “International Council R. C.,” as an authority for himself and his “specialized American frater- nai swindle, they discovered that the ‘‘Special Charter” of the Great White Lodge of Tibet, executed and delivered by Sri Sob- bitha Bikkhu, Grand Hierophant of ‘‘Hocus-Pocus,”’ was and is absolutely worthless and entirely spurious.. They denounced that ‘Special Charter’ and now refuse to recognize it. Because Lewis deceived them so grossly and embarrassed and humiliated them so deeply, they claim to have expelled him from their illegitimate Sovereign Sanctuary of the Rite Memphis-Mizraim, notwithstand- ing he is said to be the Thrice Illustrious Frater H. Spencer Lewis, 97°, and originally slated to be Grand Master National for the United States, in their scheme of world-wide illegitimate and fraudulent Masonry and occultism.
The “Masonic” Congress of Brussels
Although the Congress of Brussels, August, 1934, was held, manipulated and controlled by leaders, all of whom were dis- credited or expelled Memphis-Mizraim Masons, and it has been denounced and declared to be an irregular and clandestine Masonic Congress by the Sovereign Sanctuary of France of that Rite— yet, nevertheless, the real purpose—that deep, ultra-secret scheme which was under and beneath all of its proceedings—was the deep- laid and cunningly manipulated Master-plan of H. Spencer Lewis to use that Congress of discredited Masons to create for himself and his fraudulent Rose Cross Order in America a spurious ‘‘Inter- national Rosicrucian Council” to condemn the authentic Rosicru- cian Order in America, and to certify to the genuineness and authenticity of his fraternal swindle. This he succeeded in doing when he created the “Fuposr” federation. However, to accomplish

After the truth began to leak out and his members and others begain to raise questions about the Congress of Brussels and Fuposi—his ‘‘Rosicrucian authority” created by discredited Ma- sons—a serious situation was presented to Mr. Lewis. Especially did they want to know about the Freemasonic nature of the Con- gress that created his “International R. C. Council.’ But, being exceedingly cunning by nature and ever on the alert by necessity, in April, 1935, he made a remarkable explanation, totally dis- associating Masonry and Masons with the Congress, but keeping organizations of a Freemasonic nature closely associated with Fupos!, especially the Martinist Order, whose teachings he had agreed to add to his own, as follows:
All Italics Ours. None Are of Real Masonic Nature, but Clandestinely of Pre- tended Masonic Nature.

Unscrupulous Arch- Pretender, to Cover His Tracks and to
Conceal His Acts.

Collecting Charters.
“In answer to many questions that have been asked on one point, I wish to say that it will be noted that in the list of affiliated bodies the Fuposi does not include any organization of a Freemasonic nature, despite the fact that some persons believe that such is the case. In the first place, Freemasonry throughout the world is so organized and so uni- versally distributed with its various Grand Lodges and inter-allied organizations or councils that it is practically an international federation itself and would have naught to gain by uniting with any other federation. In the second place, Freemasonry is not a mystical, Cosmic, occult, Hermetic organi- zation in the sense that we have outlined in the foregoing statements. It is just as different in this regard as is the Theosophical Society, or the Vedanta Society, or others.
“There are various forms of Freemasonic activ- ities in foreign countries, but none of these are in any form or manner a part of the federation. We who journeyed from North America to Belgium to participate in this congress as representatives of the Rosicrucian Order [!!!] received many forms. of reception and were given many charters and doc-

uments of affiliation with the other allied organiza- tions of the federation, and signed various doc- uments of greetings and affiliation with other or- ganizations, but none of these charters, documents, or papers related to Freemasonry, or any form of Freemasonry, nor did they bear any agreements, promises, or acknowledgments to any other organi- zations than those listed above.’’*
The above-mentioned list of organizations said to be members of the federation Fuposi, alleged to be Rosicrucian Orders of non-Masonic nature, will be presently quoted and discussed in
