From The Hidden Records

There will be talk of confusion in regards to our purpose. Let that end now!
The choice was ours, and as such, we claim all responsibility. What we did was not for personal glory, honor or some simplistic belief that we are right while so many others are wrong. What we did was for humanity itself.

There are those that believe that all human behavior can be labeled or described (by psychological and anthropological study based on biology and chemistry which themselves are subject to the primordial laws of nature) as primate in nature.

We disagree.

We believe that not only is man not limited as such, but his very humanity is marked by his ability to overcome that nature – to go beyond his social and genetic boundaries and realize the vision of a new society.

And if, in the short term, the cost to achieve that is blood, so be it. We will do whatever it takes to destroy the past and create a greater future.
