Europeans know the importance of the Resistance; it has been the shining example of the modern conscience.

Resistance is feasible even for those who are not heroes by nature, and it is an obligation, I believe, for those who fear the consequences and detest the reality of the attempt to impose American hegemony.
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.

Before, I would play a little hoops, a little tennis. Now it’s more yoga, Pilates, stretching, some light weight work, push-ups, sit-ups, resistance things.
