In a few short months, the young and relatively unknown politician Barack Hussein Obama may very well be elevated to the presidency of the United States and command the mightiest military in world history.

Would the eloquent and charismatic Obama unite, inspire and renew a troubled nation, as tens of millions of voters passionately believe? Or is it possible he's a Manchurian candidate – harboring an ominous secret agenda few understand, a man destined to wreak havoc on America should he become president?

That's the question that is explored definitively in the April issue of WND's acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "THE SECRET LIFE OF BARACK OBAMA."

Many consider him nothing less than a savior. They're entranced by Obama and his messianic campaign, which regularly has seen swooning women fainting in his presence. But in addition to the public, the cultural elite and even much of the news media have been likewise captivated. New Age luminary and mega-bestselling author Deepak Chopra says Obama's presidency would "represent a quantum leap in American consciousness," superstar Oprah Winfrey says Obama's "tongue [is] dipped in the unvarnished truth," and MSNBC's "Hardball" anchor Chris Matthews recently gushed, "He [Obama] seems to have the answers. This is the New Testament."

But then, somewhat diminishing the radiant glow of the Obama campaign have been wave after wave of ominous revelations about the young senator from Illinois:

Examination of his U.S. Senate voting record reveals him to be a hard leftist. A little-reported letter from the candidate to the "LGBT community" declares Obama's enthusiastic solidarity with the radical homosexual-rights agenda. His long-time spiritual mentor and pastor turns out to be a rabid, racist, America-hater who claims the U.S. invented AIDS to wipe out black people. Bloggers are even piecing together an intriguing case that Obama, a Muslim in his youth, may still be a closet Muslim.

But there's more – much more.

In "THE SECRET LIFE OF BARACK OBAMA," Whistleblower shines a 1,000-watt spotlight on the real Barack Obama – and reveals him to be one of the most dangerous men ever to be considered for the presidency of the United States of America.

"This issue of Whistleblower is about what's at the heart of Barack Obama," said David Kupelian, managing editor of WND and Whistleblower. "Obama is a man who reflexively, instinctively, will side with what's wrong and harmful for America, and will oppose what's right and good and wholesome for America. It's uncanny. But this profoundly negative orientation is sugar-coated with a charismatic 'positive' persona and beguiling rhetoric."

• "Obama mentor identified as communist." Surprise, Frank Marshall Davis, another key influence on the Chicago senator was obsessed with "American imperialism, colonialism, exploitation"

Almost everyone agrees that there's nothing more beautiful than a young child – the brightness of spirit, the innocence, the natural intelligence are breathtaking.

What, then, possesses an angelic little girl to chant confidently in front of television cameras: "When I wander into Jerusalem, I will become a suicide bomber"? Or a little boy to exclaim: "We will destroy the chair of the despots, so they will taste the flame of death"?

What has happened to these children in their earliest, most vulnerable and tender years to poison their souls and set many on the path ultimately to madness and murder?

What goes on in their homes, schools and mosques that induces them to strap on explosive belts and kill themselves and countless unsuspecting innocents in a pizza parlor?

How, after growing up in a home with a mother and father and brothers and sisters, can a young man suddenly stab his own sister to death – knifing her not just once or twice, but dozens and dozens of times, like a maniacal serial murderer – just because she supposedly held hands or was seen in public with a male who wasn't a relative?

In a spine-straightening investigative report titled "CHILD SACRIFICE," WND's acclaimed Whistleblower magazine shines a 1,000-watt spotlight on the mind-numbing barbarism of radical Islam.

Subtitled, "How the Islamist death cult is destroying a generation of youth," this groundbreaking edition unveils shocking insight into what's really behind:

• Reports of children's television programs that feature demonic clones of Mickey Mouse, Sesame Street characters and other kids' favorites, in which the "lovable" stars teach children lies, hatred and murder.
  
• Reports of rape victims being flogged and imprisoned, as when a Saudi court recently sentenced a 20-year-old female victim, who had been gang-raped by seven men, to 200 lashes and six months in prison for the crime of being in a car with a man not her husband, brother, or father. (Thanks to intense international pressure, Saudi King Abdullah finally pardoned the rape victim.)
  
• Reports of "sermons" delivered by top Islamic clerics openly calling for mass murder, such as this one by Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabita, former acting rector of the Islamic University in Gaza: "O brother believers, the criminals, the terrorists, are the Jews, who have butchered our children, orphaned them, widowed our women and desecrated our holy places and sacred sites. They are the terrorists. They are the ones who must be butchered and killed, as Allah the Almighty said: 'Fight them: Allah will torture them at your hands, and will humiliate them and will help you to overcome them, and will relieve the minds of the believers' ... Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them. Wherever you are, kill those Jews and those Americans who are like them …"
  
• Reports – perhaps 5,000 every year, according to the U.N. – of "honor killings" in which fathers, brothers or mothers brutally murder their own daughter/sister merely for being seen in public with a male or similar "offense." For example, two Jordanian brothers used axes to hack to death their two sisters, aged 20 and 27, in an "honor killing" after the older sister left home to marry a man without her family's permission. Her younger sister later ran away to join her. "It was a brutal scene," one official said, according to the Jordan Times. "One victim's head was nearly cut clean off."
  
• Reports of young girls tortured and raped into converting to Islam. Mary, an 18-year-old Egyptian girl, was brutally abducted, raped and held captive for nine months by Islamic kidnappers who poured sulfuric acid on her wrist to remove the tattooed cross she wore as a statement of her Christian faith. Along with enduring the sexual abuse, she was required to fast, pray and memorize portions of the Quran. Though at first she refused to wear the traditional Islamic veil, Mary later told reporters, "They warned me that if I removed it they would throw acid on my face." Eventually, under unbearable pressure and abuse from her captors, she signed official papers of conversion to Islam.
• Reports of maniacal "religious police," such as those in Saudi Arabia who on March 11, 2002, allowed 15 young girls to die horrible deaths when a fire broke out in their school in Mecca. The religious police literally stopped firefighters from saving the girls because they weren't dressed in the proper Islamic way for girls and women to be seen outdoors. With helpless firemen watching, the religious police literally beat the girls – those who were not wearing their headscarves or abayas – back into the inferno.

• "This is full-fledged, criminally pathological madness," says WND and Whistleblower Managing Editor David Kupelian. "It's rooted in a lethal combination of hatred and insane philosophy, both so deeply implanted and so massively reinforced that there is barely a person reading these words that can even begin to comprehend such extreme child abuse."
