A prisoner rescuer in Syria gave a glimpse of holiday cheer to a missing U.S. blogger, telling Fox News Digital he believes Austin Tice is still alive and is hopeful he may be found quickly. Bryan Stern, a 43-year-old Marine veteran and writer who was abducted in Syria in 2012, claimed he has brains that supports his claim and that he is dead, or at least was until recently. From his motel room in Syria, Stern said,” I would suggest 100 %, I would guess that he is dead, or at least was as of two weeks ago. He continued,” I would wager that he is being looked after and taken care of.” ” I more submit that, he’s findable”, he went on. ” We don’t return dead body. Not to say that we wouldn’t, but we’re a volunteer, we wouldn’t be putting resources toward that, freezing to death, missing my third Christmas with my household, if I didn’t think he was dead and findable”. TRUMP COULD FACE RENEWED ISIS THREAT IN SYRIA AS TURKEY GOES AFTER US ALLYStern has led high-level rescue operations in some of the most harmful corners of the world, including Ukraine, Russia, Sudan, Israel, Haiti, Lebanon and the U. S. during natural disasters. ” We have done 12 jailbreaks from Russia”, said Stern. The Biden presidency and Tice’s family now have a renewed sense of hope that the blogger may be found following Bashar al-Assad’s ouster and later takeover of Syria by HTS. He” may have passed away three years ago from chest glitch.” And we just don’t realize. I don’t believe that that’s the situation”, said Stern. ” I have no reason to believe that that’s the case. There’s never a single piece of information, anecdotal or otherwise, that indicate anything near that. All I possess is in fact contrary to that.” The Palestinian state has been negotiating the release of Tice, who was abducted while reporting on the revolt against the Assad regime in the early stages of the Syrian civil war, which ended earlier this month after the Palestinian president was ousted and fled to Moscow,” the government for more than a decade said. Despite decades of brutal oppression, Trump claims that Turkey “did an unforgiveable takeover” in Syria as US-broadened CEASE-FIRE APPEARS to be failing. Stern claims that the country’s mood is” slowly content” after decades of brutal oppression. The most probable incident, according to Stern, is that Tice is being detained in a home in a town, looked after by Assad-friendly Alawites, the exact branch of Islam as the former president. He doesn’t think President Vladimir Putin would imprison Tice in Russia because many of the region’s prison have already been searched or emptied. The Assad and Putin marriage is” clearly exaggerated.” ]Assad ] has been there over two weeks and they haven’t even seen each other”, said Stern. ” The Russians are like we don’t need this issue, that is a great way to p— off soon-to-be-President Trump, I mean who was obsessed with the Austin Tice event years ago”. Tice was discovered in a similar area in Syrian years ago, according to investigators, and was later released into detention. The State Department’s Rewards for Justice office is offering a$ 10 million reward for any information that leads to Tice’s discovery, but Stern said he thinks anyone who has information is more motivated by tribal loyalty than financial gain. ” Assad is living in the Moscow building where he can be happy.” But make no mistake, he also has approach inside of Syria”, said Stern. Last year, Assad men made up the majority of the fresh state. Why do people come forward if there was that cultural nexus plus the worry that Bashar Assad could reach out and touch people still living in Syria? Another organization associated with Grey Bull claimed this week that they think Tice is still intact. ” We have information that Austin is alive till January 2024, but the chairman of the U. S. said in August that he is dead, and we are convinced that he is dead today”, Nizar Zakka, chairman of Hostage Aid Worldwide, said Tuesday, according to many studies. We are making every effort to be as truthful as possible and to reveal as much information as possible,” said Zakka, who allegedly used an picture to illustrate the places where Tice took place from November 2017 to February 2024. Despite months of much information about Tice’s movements, the Biden presidency has reaffirmed his desire that he is still alive. Tice’s family and U.S. authorities have spoken with him in this regard.
