The greatest secret of monarchic rule…is to keep men deceived and to cloak in the specious name of religion the fear by which they must be checked, so that they will fight for slavery as they would for salvation, and will think it not shameful, but a most honorable achievement, to give their life and blood that one man may have a ground for boasting.
读到这个句子时，情不自禁想起曾经的PMI。那是一段激情燃烧的岁月。
如果我翻译的还算准确的话：
“君主统治的最大秘密是...蒙蔽着人民，打着似是而非的宗教旗帜来掩饰恐惧。所以当他们为救赎而战时，其实也是在为奴役而战。但他们(人民)却不认为是羞耻，而是在做一件高尚荣光的事业，并为之付出生命和鲜血，使得他们有了足以自诩的理由。”
如果不是因为内斗，我真的愿意跟着李皇帝继续为“3M救赎”而战。为解放全人类，为打破现代金融奴隶制而奋斗终生。
可惜，李皇帝已被他的以大春天为首的李氏集团所绑架。在PMI里，火炬手们动辄被举报被批斗，简直失去了人生自由。真正是“刚刚摆脱了封建社会的枷锁，又套上了资本主义的锁链。”
当我被迫离开PMI时，我流泪了。我真的哭的那么伤心💔。我爱PMI，我爱李皇帝的救赎情怀，我还清晰记得，我们PMI首期火炬手是怀着怎样虔诚的心，庄严宣誓我们要传承马夫罗季先生的3M思想理念，为民谋福利...
可如今呢？一切成了笑话。我都不知道为什么我被列为PMI四大恶人的黑名单了。
原本以为自己离开了PMI，从此与PMI也就井水不犯河水，风马牛不相及了。不料想，还一直被PMI李氏集团惦记着，如同自己一直怀念PMI一样。
我对PMI没有恨，只有满满的爱和怀念。离开PMI后，我也从没有在公开场合说过攻击PMI的任何话语。相反，总是对李皇帝的PMI培训充满真挚的溢美之词。虽然有时不免纳闷，真的搞不明白PMI的初衷是什么？一边“引诱”小白加入，一边又无情地把小白T出局。这是不是等同于玩弄感情呢？
不过，小白们初次进入PMI，真的超级幸福啊！
天天给你喝心灵鸡汤，营养的不要不要的。我还想继续喝李皇帝精心熬制的心灵鸡汤，可惜再也喝不到了...
人生的爱恨情仇真的很难讲。但依然感谢在PMI里跟李皇帝学到了真知，彻底搞懂了3M金融启示。
依然坚信马夫罗季的3M名言：
金融启示不可避免
我们一起改变世界
附：对于此引文的精准解读
In this quote, "they" and "them" refers to the "men" (or people) whom such leaders deceive.
在这段引文中，“他们”意指被领导欺骗蒙蔽的人(或人民)。
The phrase "in the specious name of religion" means the deceivers pretend religious authority to take and hold power over those whom such leaders deceive.
短语“以似是而非的宗教名义”意指欺骗者借宗教权威来掌控那些被洗脑的人。
So, using the perversion of religious trappings, leaders manipulate the people to such a degree that the people will desire to be subjugated. And, those leaders convince those people that submission to subjugation and even enslavement is honorable and godly.
所以，利用对宗教的曲解，领导们操控人民，使得他们甘于臣服。那些领导们让人民相信臣服甚至被奴役也是光荣神圣的。
In our modern world, that translates to everyone working for the corporations on barely subsistence wages… and being thankful for it.
在我们的现代世界里，可以转译为在公司工作却只领着卑微薪水的人...感谢！

Oh, I c. Thank you for your great explanation very much.
It is very true that people can even give their life and blood to such an "honorable" achievement.(There are a lot of stories of how people pay their lives for the so-called honorable acheivement or revolution)
I feel that religion has the healing power, so
here the deceivers just take advantage of religion to help overcome the fear which holds people in check, ok?
So people can get the power to fight for salvation bravely, at the same time, they also desire to submit. It is an interesting topic.
But it is really very true.
