Bashar has given us this set of symbols and explained a little, on a surface level what it is about. It was given to us as more of a meditation tool of sorts. Similar symbols (not necessarily exactly like these, but somewhat resembling them) have been discovered carved on flying saucers that have crashed on Earth.

I always wondered what they were. Just recently I stumbled upon an actual whistleblower testimony by some guy who worked in black projects with the Xerox company. He had a website where he disclosed his information, you can still find it here. I came across this website with a lengthy blog entry that detailed the whole disclosure:

https://metallicman.com/laoban4site/the-disclosure-of-the-caret-program-at-pacl/

I wish to draw your attention onto a specific section in that blog post, which I am going to quote here at length. I think this offers a plausible explanation for those symbols:

>I put the word Language in quotes because calling what I am about to describe a “language” is a misnomer, although it is an easy mistake to make.

I put the word Language in quotes because calling what I am about to describe a “language” is a misnomer, although it is an easy mistake to make.

Their hardware wasn’t operated in quite the same way as ours. In our technology, even today, we have a combination of hardware and software running almost everything on the planet. Software is more abstract than hardware, but ultimately it needs hardware to run it.

In other words, there’s no way to write a computer program on a piece of paper, set that piece of paper on a table or something, and expect it to actually do something. The most powerful code in the world still doesn’t actually do anything until a piece of hardware interprets it and translates its commands into actions.

But their technology is different. It really did operate like the magical piece of paper sitting on a table, in a manner of speaking. They had something akin to a language, that could quite literally execute itself, at least in the presence of a very specific type of field. The language, a term I am still using very loosely, is a system of symbols (which does admittedly very much resemble a written language) along with geometric forms and patterns that fit together to form diagrams that are themselves functional.

Once they are drawn, so to speak, on a suitable surface made of a suitable material and in the presence of a certain type of field, they immediately begin performing the desired tasks.

It really did seem like magic to us, even after we began to understand the principles behind it.

I worked with these symbols more than anything during my time at PACL, and recognized them the moment I saw them in the photos. They appear in a very simple form on Chad’s craft, but appear in the more complex diagram form on the underside of the Big Basin craft as well.

Both are unmistakable, even at the small size of the Big Basin photos. An example of a diagram in the style of the Big Basin craft is included with this in a series of scanned pages from the [mis-titled] "Linguistic Analysis Primer". We needed a copy of that diagram to be utterly precise, and it took about a month for a team of six to copy that diagram into our drafting program!

Explaining everything I learned about this technology would fill up several volumes, but I will do my best to explain at least some of the concepts as long as I am taking the time to write all this down.

First of all, you wouldn't open up their hardware to find a CPU here, and a data bus there, and some kind of memory over there. Their hardware appeared to be perfectly solid and consistent in terms of material from one side to the other. Like a rock or a hunk of metal.

But upon [much] closer inspection, we began to learn that it was actually one big holographic computational substrate - each "computational element" (essentially individual particles) can function independently, but are designed to function together in tremendously large clusters. I say its holographic because you can divide it up into the smallest chunks you want and still find a scaled-down but complete representation of the whole system.

They produce a nonlinear computational output when grouped. So 4 elements working together is actually more than 4 times more powerful than 1.

Most of the internal "matter" in their crafts (usually everything but the outermost housing) is actually this substrate and can contribute to computation at any time and in any state. The shape of these "chunks" of substrate also had a profound effect on its functionality, and often served as a "shortcut" to achieve a goal that might otherwise be more complex.

So back to the language.

The language is actually a "functional blueprint". The forms of the shapes, symbols and arrangements thereof is itself functional. What makes it all especially difficult to grasp is that every element of each "diagram" is dependent on and related to every other element, which means no single detail can be created, removed or modified independently.

Humans like written language because each element of the language can be understood on its own, and from this, complex expressions can be built. However, their "language" is entirely context-sensitive, which means that a given symbol could mean as little as a 1-bit flag in one context, or, quite literally, contain the entire human genome or a galaxy star map in another.

The ability for a single, small symbol to contain, not just represent, tremendous amounts of data is another counter-intuitive aspect of this concept. We quickly realized that even working in groups of 10 or more on the simplest of diagrams, we found it virtually impossible to get anything done. As each new feature was added, the complexity of the diagram exponentially grew to unmanageable proportions.

For this reason we began to develop computer-based systems to manage these details and achieved some success, although again we found that a threshold was quickly reached beyond which even the supercomputers of the day were unable to keep up.

Word was that the extra-terrestrials could design these diagrams as quickly and easily as a human programmer could write a Fortran program. It's humbling to think that even a network of supercomputers wasn't able to duplicate what they could do in their own heads. Our entire system of language is based on the idea of assigning meaning to symbols.

Their technology, however, somehow merges the symbol and the meaning, so a subjective audience is not needed. You can put whatever meaning you want on the symbols, but their behavior and functionality will not change, any more than a transistor will function differently if you give it another name.

Here's an example of how complex the process is. Imagine I ask you to incrementally add random words to a list such that no two words use any of the same letters, and you must perform this exercise entirely in your head, so you can't rely on a computer or even a pen and paper. If the first in the list was, say, "fox", the second item excludes all words with the letters F, O and X. If the next word you choose is "tree", then the third word in the list can't have the letters F, O, X, T, R, or E in it.

As you can imagine, coming up with even a third word might start to get just a bit tricky, especially since you can't easily visualize the excluded letters by writing down the words.

By the time you get to the fourth, fifth and sixth words, the problem has spiraled out of control. Now imagine trying to add the billionth word to the list (imagine also that we're working with an infinite alphabet so you don't run out of letters) and you can imagine how difficult it is for even a computer to keep up. Needless to say, writing this kind of thing "by hand" is orders of magnitude beyond the capabilities of the brain.

My background lent itself well to this kind of work though. I'd spent years writing code and designing both analog and digital circuits, a process that at least visually resembled these diagrams in some way. I also had a personal affinity for combinatorics, which served me well as I helped with the design of software running on supercomputers that could juggle the often trillions of rules necessary to create a valid diagram of any reasonable complexity.

This overlapped quite a bit with compiler theory as well, a subject I always found fascinating, and in particular compiler optimization, a field that wasn't half of what it is today back then. A running joke among the linguistics team was that Big-O notation couldn't adequately describe the scale of the task, so we'd substitute other words for "big". By the time I left I remember the consensus was "Astronomical-O" finally did it justice.

Like I said, I could go on for hours about this subject, and would love to write at least an introductory book on the subject if it wasn't still completely classified, but that's not the point of this letter so I'll try to get back on track.

The last thing I'd like to discuss is how I got copies of this material, what else I have in my possession, and what I plan to do with it in the future.

English (machine) translation:

The country’s oldest and most powerful Masonic order is in turmoil following an unprecedented ruling by the Lisbon Court of Appeal, which threatens to compromise the secrecy of the organisation’s inner workings. The Grand Master of the Grande Oriente Lusitano (GOL), Fernando Cabecinha, is to convene all Masonic bodies to decide how to proceed in the face of the risk that everything that takes place within the Masonic palace will be scrutinised by the ‘profane world’.

At issue is a case brought before the courts by five Masons who were expelled from the GOL. In a judgement handed down on 7 July, three judges at the Lisbon Court of Appeal ruled that, although it does not have legal personality, the GOL will have to take the stand as it possesses ‘judicial personality’. It will therefore have to reveal what has hitherto taken place within the order behind closed doors.

The trial is scheduled for September and could result in the annulment of a sanction imposed by the Masonic court.

This decision to place GOL in the dock ‘has never occurred in the institution’s 225-year history’, according to several Freemasons interviewed by SOL. And everyone now fears that it will call into question the way Freemasonry operates, having long functioned according to its own internal rules on the fringes of the ‘profane world’, with its own courts and laws, a parliament, various lodges operating in temples and even secret names, without having to account to the outside world for what goes on there.

“Now that the doors of GOL have been opened, things will no longer be as discreet as they have been for over 200 years,” a Freemason tells SOL, explaining that any internal action, decision or sanction runs the risk of being challenged in the civil courts, bringing to light everything that takes place within the Masonic order. Speaking to SOL, Grand Master Fernando Cabecinha merely states that he will not comment ‘whilst the proceedings are ongoing’. But SOL understands that the decision took the leader and all the Freemasons by surprise. As the GOL’s headquarters and all its operations close for the month of August, Fernando Cabecinha will convene, at the start of September, the Freemasons who hold some of the most important positions, whether of an advisory, judicial or executive nature. The aim is to decide on the course of action to be taken by the GOL, whether through the courts or by other means.

Until now, whenever there was a problem, the visible face of the organisation was a non-profit association called Grémio Lusitano. This association has legal personality and a public deed, but merely manages the Freemasons’ assets. Everything else – the secret meetings and rituals, the Masonic parliament, the Masonic tribunals, the rules governing the actions and election of the order’s leaders – operates under the authority of the GOL. However, the Court of Appeal’s judgement states that, according to the expelled Freemasons, ‘Grémio Lusitano acts as a front for the GOL’.

"With this ruling, we will be subject to scrutiny from outside Freemasonry," emphasises another Freemason, adding that some even fear that the real names of Freemasons may be revealed.

Trafficking in degrees and dishonourable conduct

This case began after several Freemasons from the Egrégora Lodge, which operated in Coimbra, were expelled from the GOL in 2023. This was because they were internally accused by the Grand Masonic Tribunal of ‘trafficking in Masonic degrees, breaching their commitments and engaging in dishonourable conduct, both by action and omission’, according to a Masonic document to which SOL had access.

This Masonic judgement is signed by the judges of the Grand Masonic Court, which at that time was headed by the lawyer Francisco Pimentel. Agostinho Batista and Manuel Pinto dos Santos were also members of the panel of judges. The post of General Registrar of Justice of the GOL, who acts as prosecutor, was held by Vitor Santos Oliveira, also a lawyer.

In that document from the Masonic court which ruled on the expulsion of the ‘brothers’, the symbolic names of the expelled Freemasons appear: Eloy de Matos, Alexander Fleming, Antero de Quental, António Dias, Leonardo da Vinci and Churchill – which in reality correspond to António Martins Ferreira, Camilo Cruz, António Sequeira, João Almeida and Rui Lopes Dias, the names that appear in the judgment of the Lisbon Court of Appeal as the plaintiffs in the case.

Now, the five Freemasons are demanding that the expulsion be overturned, citing various irregularities, and are seeking compensation of around 35,000 euros (6,000 euros each), plus interest for late payment. They deny all of GOL’s accusations and claim that the internal proceedings breached several rules, such as the lack of a right to be heard.

The Court of Appeal’s decision came as a bombshell amongst the Freemasons, as initially, at first instance, a judge had ruled that GOL would not be in the dock, only the Grémio Lusitano. Now, in the Court of Appeal’s judgement, signed by Judges Carla Figueiredo, Maria Teresa Catrola and Amélia Loupo, everything has changed, as they have overturned ‘the decision that acquitted GOL’.

Pandora’s Box

Fears that this may mark the beginning of the end of secrecy are growing, as the Court of Appeal’s judgement has already described in detail, for example, how Freemasons organise themselves within GOL. It explains that the Grand Master, elected for a three-year term, ‘is the guarantor of Masonic brotherhood’ and has a group of Freemasons whom he can always consult and who form ‘the Grand Masonic Council’. The document also reveals the rest of the Masonic structure: there is a Masonic parliament called the Grand Diet, which is the ‘sovereign and legislative body’, convenes annually and in which ‘all lodges have a seat’. There is also, the judges write, an ‘executive body’ known as the Council of Order, which is responsible for ‘the day-to-day administration and management of the GOL’, chaired by the Grand Master and ‘comprising the Deputy Grand Masters and four Grand Councillors elected every three years’. The functioning of the internal judicial system is then explained: ‘The Grand Masonic Tribunal is the supreme body of Masonic justice, acting as a court of appeal for the lodges and their members, adjudicating any disputes between lodges or with the internal bodies’.

At present, SOL understands that this Masonic tribunal is led by Manuel Pinto dos Santos, with Agostinho Batista, Nuno Gonçalves and João Paulo Marques among its members.

In total, GOL currently has 2,400 members, spread across 103 lodges, each with its own leader (‘venerable’), and is headed by the Grand Master, who is currently Fernando Cabecinha.

Another issue that is causing concern amongst Freemasons is the possibility that their expulsion might be overturned. The Court of Appeal considered that, given there was no opportunity for the parties to be heard, the annulment of such expulsions may be at stake. This situation could pave the way for other expelled Freemasons to apply to the state courts in future to be reinstated. Last year alone, according to internal data accessed by SOL, 15 Freemasons were expelled.

In the corridors of the GOL, many blame ‘the weakness of the internal process’ for the controversy that has arisen and which has effectively thrown the organisation’s doors wide open, making it possible to overturn the expulsion decision. But other ‘brothers’ point out that it will be impossible to reinstate the five expelled members, as ‘they have just committed another Masonic offence by putting the GOL in this position, when they swore never to do so’.
