Jane Goodall Goes Viral After Calling Out Five Global Leaders in Posthumous InterviewHer final words mix humor, criticism, and a timeless call for hope.The late primatologist and environmental icon Jane Goodall has gone viral after Netflix released her final interview as part of the series Famous Last Words. Recorded in March and aired shortly after her passing in October 2025, the conversation shocked audiences with its candor. When asked if there were people she disliked, Goodall named five public figures — Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Benjamin Netanyahu — and said she would gladly “send them all on Musk’s spaceship to whatever planet he eventually finds.” Her comment, delivered with her signature calm tone, revealed a sharper edge of her personality rarely seen in public. Goodall, known for decades of conservation work with chimpanzees and her tireless advocacy for environmental awareness, used this moment to highlight how political egos and corporate ambitions have slowed down the fight against climate change and social justice. In the same interview, she shifted from humor to reflection, urging viewers not to lose hope despite global instability. “If you lose hope, you become apathetic and do nothing,” she said, echoing her lifelong belief that small actions by ordinary people can transform the world. The posthumous release immediately trended on social media, with millions of users praising her courage and moral clarity. Commentators noted that Goodall’s remarks were not attacks, but a mirror held up to power — a final reminder that leadership must be measured not by rhetoric, but by impact. Even after death, Jane Goodall’s message remains alive: a blend of honesty, empathy, and rebellion — the same qualities that made her one of the most respected voices in science and humanity. |

RuPa's Latin American Holdings: A Basket of ETFs and Other Funds
Summary: Surprising to us, our basket of Latin American ETFs and Closed-end funds
has performed well in a rather rocky market since November 1. Since the end of January, 2026 we
have twice pulled out of these funds and reinvested roughly $23,000 due to abrupt movements in the
market. We increased our profits on both occasions, for a total of about 6% ROI in past three months.
This performance has proved a lot better -- but with more risk -- than our CDs! We believe these funds represent a strong long-term hold,
but only for those with steel nerves; they have jumped around 2-5% almost weekly so far this year. Frankly,
we've been lucky and do not plan on increasing our minimal holding in them until the geopolitics of
the region settles down. One potential negative impact is the Trump Administration's predicted threats against
China's growing physical and financial presence in South America.
On the other hand, Real estate investing is proving to be a sound strategy, especially in Medellin, Colombia,
where we are considering the purchase a second apartment this month for $53,000, to be used as a shooting studio
for the company. The problem is the instability of the dollar...and the strength of the Colombian
peso! The owner wants to be paid over the course of two months, which puts us a risk if the dollar
continues to fall in value.
Lastly, our CDs are providing safe place to park capital while we're deciding what to do next, each earning about $500 per month.
Our investment club is created and maintained for entertainment and educational purposes only. We do not offer investment advice or recommend particular stocks, bonds, ETFs or any other investment product. Please refrain from asking Ruta Pantera staff to provide investment advice. Thank you.
