Brainiacs today includes a slight review of some of the events of this year, as we intend to continue in the next month as a celebration of the five year anniversary of Brainiacs' start on Jan. 17, 2007.

Ben Sharrow's solo was inadvertently left out of last week's program, so here it is.

We include clips from Ed Reinhart Sr. and Jr. when they joined Brainiacs January 22, 2011 for a show hosted by Rick Prokaski.

Are you a terrorist? The government probably thinks so.

Just change "Iraq" to "Iran". We are about to engage in the same atrocities again.

Are you a "friendly" or "non-friendly" to the U.S. government? The military is setting up a system to categorize you. FEMA documents confirm the designation of the American people as ‘enemies’ under a live military tracking system known as Blue Force Situational Awareness (BFSA). Critical of the government? Protested Wall Street lately? You could be an enemy combatant and subject to the expanded powers of the Patriot Act and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). A caller to Infowars breaks down the documents and what it means.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was just signed by president Obama. The expands the authority of the Patriot Act to allow the arrest, indefinite detention and even assassination of foreign AND U.S. citizens that the government deems a threat. Anything you do that the government doesn't approve of can be cause for your arrest without evidence.
