| Message | "We find it very interesting how the manifesto of the HNP is entirely opposed to that of the Patriciate in every way. They are devolutionist, backwards morally and supportive of brainwashing of superstitions on children. Their actions will be very carefully monitored by the Foundation henseforth, as such totalitarian extremism cannot be allowed to flourish into a dictatorship of thought."
