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.

💯. 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.

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Trump really wants us to be North Korea: completely brainwashed into thinking we’re the best, no protests allowed, and his giant image everywhere. Complete control.
We ain’t NK. Or Russia. But we might be Hungary, if we don’t win this thing.
We will win.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?
