Actually, if you read closely the descriptions of TNI and Alex Abel in
the core book, you'll find that TNI goals are already described there.
LG&M only expands and clarifies these goals. It's curious, but I missed
some facts too (like Alex Abel hiring hits on mundane criminal targets)
and didn't realized they were there until after reading LG&M. 

I appreciate the fact Abel is not in this only for the sake of power,
but in my opinion his attempt to make a better world is severely flawed.
Not only he lacks the morality needed for this sort of enterprise, but
ultimately because what makes a 'better world' is a debatable topic.
