On this New Year’s Day edition of Free Association (Thursdays, 9 a.m. Pacific / noon Eastern) Dr. Lenny Time hosts a wide-ranging conversation with Karen and Dennis about fear, manipulation, and how we heal the contradictions in our belief systems to reclaim freedom and purpose.

Topics include media control and mind‑control narratives, the Mandela/Mandala effect and shifting timelines, the role of science, language and education, and practical ideas for building local, value‑based communities — plus lighter moments about pets, rituals, and everyday resilience.

Tune in for reflective philosophy, personal stories, and a call to rethink common assumptions as listeners consider new ways to live and organize together.

Hosts discuss the manipulation of public belief, the need to heal contradictions in personal worldviews, and the power of returning to nature, community, and individual sovereignty. Topics include awakening versus denial, the role of truth and anger as catalysts, and practical human-scale solutions.

The episode highlights local initiatives like the Geordie Pound project, skills-based community resilience (repair and maker culture), and ongoing shows on Revolution Radio — inviting listeners to act, cooperate locally, and build alternatives beyond centralized systems.

In this short, informal episode of Free Association recorded on December 29, 2025, the host talks through recent movements in the silver market, noting a rise to around $85 and a pullback to $75–$78. They mention watching many conflicting videos about what drives silver prices and how they’re still trying to make sense of the market structure.

The host also reflects on hypothetical gains from investing in gold earlier in the year, discusses the idea of monthly bullion stacking, and compares prioritizing coins over spending on nightlife and expensive drinks. The episode closes as a quick, conversational wrap-up with no formal conclusions.
