First it was the bank takeover, then astronomical deficit spending in the "stimulus" and "omnibus" bills, then nationalizing the auto industry. Now it's the largest tax increase in history ("cap and trade"), socialized health care and the end of "don't-ask-don't-tell." Then comes socialized energy and education – on and on it goes.

In between reports of these radical efforts by Barack Obama to dismantle the nation's free-market economy, Americans hear tantalizing tidbits about new villains like "ACORN," "Saul Alinsky," "the Cloward-Piven Strategy" and the like – all pieces of a puzzle millions of outraged citizens are desperately trying to put together, so they can understand what's really happening and why.

The July 2009 edition of WND's acclaimed Whistleblower magazine – titled "SOFT TYRANNY: Behind the captivating rhetoric, a revolutionary agenda unfolds" – puts the puzzle pieces together.

Former Reagan administration CIA honcho Herbert E. Meyer sets the tone for this Whistleblower issue when he writes: "During the last 30 years we Americans have been so politically divided that some of us have called this left-right, liberal-conservative split a 'culture war' or even a 'second Civil War.' These descriptions are no longer accurate. The precise, technical word for what is happening in the United States today is revolution."

With unusually clear and powerful contributions, writers from Meyer to best-selling author Mark Levin, Jerome Corsi, Phyllis Schlafly, Roger Hedgecock, Joseph Farah and many others help assemble the pieces of the Obama puzzle into a crystal-clear picture of what's happening in America. Hint: It's not what the establishment press has been saying.

Key to explaining today's ominous "revolution" is Mark Levin, radio talker and author of the monster best-seller "Liberty and Tyranny." Levin often uses the term "soft tyranny" to explain the modus operandi of the Obama administration and Congress, and weighs in with a powerful, in-depth Whistleblower exclusive, titled "The antidote to tyranny: Time for urgent action, as 'liberty once lost is rarely recovered.'"

"This is actually one of the most fascinating Whistleblower issues I've ever read," said the magazine's editor, David Kupelian, who has headed up Whistleblower for almost 10 years. "People will be blown away when they read about what is really transpiring right now in their country. Fortunately, Whistleblower's contributors also point to the way out."

"Every American needs to read this issue of Whistleblower," said Joseph Farah, WND founder and CEO. "And then they need to pass it along to others who care about seeing America restored to a land of expansive liberty and limited government – rather than ever-expanding government and ever-shrinking liberty, as we have today."
