Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death.
This is her final message from it.

Honestly, no officer should need advice to decide if "kill these guys flailing around in the water" is a legal order
My understanding is that, at the height of the "drone war on terror" that when the military officer thought the legality of a particular strike was legally dubious, they'd have a CIA guy actually "pull the trigger". I wonder if that is happening in our current "War on Fishing Boats"?

The DSM codes are 301.81 and 301.7. Sometimes, treating professionals spend hours arguing with insurance companies that the patient’s symptoms warrant treatment. Given his long-standing history and significant symptomatology, getting his treatment covered by insurance would be a slam dunk.
It's Narcissistic Personality Disorder as well as Antisocial Personality Disorder. Beyond any shadow of a doubt.

💯. It's not these patriotic citizens' fault they're being used as performative props by a corrupt, mendacious, and deranged president. They deserve our kindness and respect, and now, devastatingly, our deepest concern and sympathy. 😢

Note that the BBC openly admits in an email to me that the removal of this claim about Trump's world-historical corruption was done "on legal advice."
Translation: Trump's threat of a lawsuit, no matter how bogus, has now been rewarded.
