Bryan Stern

Bryan Stern is a U.S. Special Forces veteran and the founder of Grey Bull Rescue, a Tampa-based organization. He is currently newsworthy for spearheading "Operation Golden Dynamite," a complex rescue mission to extract Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel laureate María Corina Machado from Venezuela. The operation involved land, sea, and air components, including disguises and navigating challenging sea conditions. Machado was reportedly transported to Norway to accept her Nobel Peace Prize. News reports detail the perilous nature of the mission, including the risk of being lost at sea and the potential for accidental airstrikes by U.S. warplanes. Stern's involvement highlights the role of private organizations and individuals in international affairs and humanitarian efforts, particularly in politically sensitive situations.
