And I know this from personal experience.
It is Sunday night as I write this post. My wife and I had a couples’ massage at our therapists, shopped for some clothes for her at work, and then ended up at one of two local Barnes & Noble Booksellers. Borders was once much closer but the chain went bankrupt and has since disappeared.
I ended up buying the science fiction paperback HELIX by Eric Brown, and she purchased some books about the paranormal. My ears and radar are always “on,” so to speak, and I view product placement in major bookstore chains with curiosity. Naturally, Conservative books don’t always measure the topmost prominent spots in chains such as Borders and Barnes & Noble.
That said, I heard two female employees answer the queries of two separate customers at two separate points this Sunday afternoon. Both said: yes, we are OUT of “No Easy Day” by Mark Owens. We receive shipments twice a week of this book and within one day we are sold out. We can put you on a waiting list to receive the book, or we can mail it to you.
And they were correct. There was NO place in the store where the book could be found. Not on display kiosks, not in the aisles, not filed on the shelves.
Not found on the primary tables displayed directly in front of the two main entrance doors — where high-selling books are customarily placed.
Because they were OUT. Let me make this clear: they can’t keep NO EASY DAY on the shelves due to DEMAND.
60 Minutes interviewed Mark Owen this Sunday.
They did not reveal his true name. And they disguised his facial features.
[Go here for the 60 Minutes take of the first SEAL to get in public trouble, “Demo” Dick Marcinko in 1992. Video below.]
I admired Richard Marcinko then, and I admire him now. Just as I admire John Boyd, and those who tell the Truth about our military in order to make it better. A bit of a relapse: according to John Boyd — in the military you can “be someone” or you can “do something.”
I have predicated my life in my own department on “doing something” and not, clearly, on “being someone” as I am still a lowly little ancient Sergeant.
Since the release of NO EASY DAY by Mark Owen, he has been attacked by the Obama Administration and other sources.
Mark Owen’s book isn’t about secrets or tactics or strategy or “insider information” or arcane intelligence. It’s about the truth.
Read it for yourself. I have.
I leave you with this: perhaps, once again, UK news has the actual grasp on events whereas the US media sorely sails behind. Because it’s the DEM/MSM. And purposely so.

Just now, I downloaded the Kindle version. The site was so busy that I had to try several times to get the download to work!
Linked HERE.
You see? Even busy in the CLOUD!

You get your new ‘net connection yet??
Funny you should mention that. . .
The AT&T guy, Steve, just walked out the door and got into his large truck. He thanked me for getting into the actual 21st century.
So: HOUSTON, I HAVE INTERNET!
WOOOO-HOOOOOOO!!
