Exactly why Apis pressed for the assassination of the archduke is difficult to establish, since he left no straightforward account of his motivations....It should be emphasised that the archduke was not targeted on account of any alleged hostility to the Slavic minorities in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but, on the contrary, because, to borrow the words of the assassin, Gavrilo Princip, 'as future Sovereign he would have prevented our union by carrying through certain reforms'...The targeting of the archduke thus exemplified one abiding strand in the logic of terrorist movements, namely that reformers and moderates are more to be feared than outright enemies and hardliners.
WTF?!
So I ask again: why did Freemasonry condemn Ferdinand to death?
Were they so concerned about Slav unity?
Or was it because he was a voice of peace and an obstacle to war?
