US EditionSpecial forces veteran who rescued Machado begs her not to return to Venezuela
U.S. Special Forces veteran Bryan Stern warned Machado against returning to Venezuela due to high risks from Maduro’s government and allied intelligence, citing over 800 rescue missions led by his team.
- On Wednesday , María Corina Machado arrived in Oslo after a clandestine sea extraction led by Bryan Stern, who helped spirit her out of Venezuela during a nearly 16-hour night‑time operation.
- Facing a travel ban and a year in hiding, María Corina Machado needed a covert extraction after the Venezuelan government cracked down post-election, prompting Operation Golden Dynamite via sea from a Caracas suburb.
- Planners dubbed the mission Operation Golden Dynamite and built a sea plan in about a week to avoid land checkpoints, moving Machado from a local fishing boat through a night rendezvous amid 10-foot waves to Stern's vessel before reaching Curaçao.
- Stern said he begged María Corina Machado not to go back, warning Venezuelan authorities could arrest, kill, or torture her if she returned.
- Diplomatically the Dutch Embassy in Caracas denied involvement while Stern said his team informed the US military of their presence amid strikes on over 20 boats killing at least 87, and Machado plans a European tour and eventual US arrival.
