Oh Will These Video Links Never Cease? (Feb-March 2021)

     Well, it’s time for another devastating onslaught of video links. In fact the amount of links indicates that I should start posting them once a month instead of bimonthly. Not only are Herr Brian and I still doing our regular shows but I have begun doing Q&A videos, a few other interviews with other folks, and soon I may begin doing readings of my favorite Buddhist texts. (I’m diversifying my portfolio, don’t you see. That and diversity of opinions is about the best kind of diversity you’re going to get out of me too, so make the most of it.)

     I may as well also mention that I’ve been uploading lots of older Brian Ruhe Shows featuring yours truly onto my still relatively new Bitchute channel, the link to which is here. It amazes me how many shows Brian and I have already done; I’ve been uploading on average four or five older shows per week, not including the new stuff, and I’m still only caught up to around January of 2020. So that is going on too, although I refrain from bombarding you with all the links for those.

     I occasionally receive messages indicating that being subscribed to me is like being a member of an exclusive club, considering how few people are aware of my blogs’ and my videos’ existence. I’ve always cringed at the thought of hyping or “marketing” myself, although in America especially it seems inevitable. So, if you consider my published content to be of value, to yourself, to western Dharma, or to western culture at large, feel free to hype my stuff to others, subscribe if you haven't already, and have a nice day.
