The purpose of the Illuminati is to ensure the survival of the human species.
Like all organisms, the human species naturally fights extinction. Even though their countries have borders and their languages have barriers, all people in all places are members of the same biological family. All humans are pieces of a collective that keeps humanity in existence.
Although you are but a speck on the back of a grain of sand compared to the immense number of humans born and decayed over millennia, you are as important to the survival of your species as the greatest kings and queens.
But by nature, humans are affected by instinct, emotion and imbalance.
A human will turn on one of his own kind for reasons that will never matter in a thousand years, and probably won’t matter in a hundred or ten. While you have seen the light in the distance and have chosen to follow it – even if out of mere curiosity – there are millions more who turn their backs on its radiance.
The Illuminati operates various departments and programs for the benefit of all people, in all places, of all generations. By protecting the interests of humanity as a whole, our organization has ensured the continued dominance of the human species over every other creature and predator on this planet.
