The upcoming January 2002 edition of Whistleblower, WND's popular monthly print magazine, will be a groundbreaking look at America's homeland security – or lack of it.
Titled "AMERICA DEFENSELESS," it will document the shocking story of how the U.S. government abandoned its former program of national defense of American citizens, and why both missile defenses and a comprehensive civil defense shelter system are needed now more than ever before.

"Here's the problem," states WND and Whistleblower Editor Joseph Farah. "Our country is defenseless against the kinds of attacks we witnessed Sept. 11. But it is also defenseless against attacks that could prove to be far more lethal and far more devastating" – namely, attacks with weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear.
How can America spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on defense, and still remain defenseless?

"The answer, as we show in vivid detail in the January issue of Whistleblower," says Farah, "is that we as a nation have forgotten the meaning of defense."
President Bush clearly believes America needs a missile-defense system to protect civilians from intercontinental ballistic missiles launched by hostile foreign powers or terrorist organizations in the future. That's why he recently took the historic step of announcing his intention of breaking with the ABM (Anti-Ballistic Missile) Treaty that outlaws missile defenses.

But everyone also agrees that missile defenses – even if and when America has them -- will never be 100 percent effective at stopping all missiles. They would, of course, also be totally ineffective against the threat of terrorists detonating weapons of mass destruction here on our homeland. As the January Whistleblower shows, the only true defense against that last eventuality, and the one missing component in the plans for missile defense, is civil defense.
The government believes in civil defense – but only for itself. Whistleblower magazine shows – through interviews with the nation's top whistleblower in the civil defense field -- how the government is protecting itself against attacks with its own shelter system to safeguard government officials. But it is leaving you, the taxpayer, defenseless.
