In the preview, we see the Uprising leader, Lucien, say..."The days of hiding in shadows are over!" I think the leaders use this as a way to recruit Wesen who may be resentful of having to hide the fact that they are Wesen. They use their motto of 'Occultatum Libera' as a way enflame that resentment and justify killing anyone who stands in their way. But exposing their existence is suicidal...unless World Domination is their true intent and ultimate goal. We also see Juliette say..."A world run by Wesen." And we see Meisner in front of a map, talking about the extent of this Uprising around the world. So it looks like the HW has figured out what their true goal is...and that is World Domination. In the episode Once We Were Gods, we learned that Wesen were once worshipped as gods. Perhaps this is what fuels the Uprising leaders mindset...Wesen superiority. They think they are superior to normal humans and thus deserve to dominate and rule them.
