In January of this 12 months, tasked by President Trump, Ric Grenell traveled to Venezuela for the US as an envoy for particular missions.
Not a lot was reported about this journey taken by Grenell. The truth is, in a fast search, all that was discovered had been just a few tales.
This story got here to my consideration by means of a J6er. Instantly and with out hesitation, I agreed to attempt to assist, understanding it’s one thing that the American folks must know.
On the time of Grenell’s journey, an unknown variety of Americans had been being held hostage by the Authorities of Nicholas Madura [a government that most question the validity of].
Studies ranged from 6 to 10 hostages behind bars in deplorable circumstances. When Grenell got here out of his assembly with Madura, he had secured the discharge of 6 American hostages.
This was an awesome day for these 6 hostages in addition to Grenell, the brand new Trump administration, and America. These 6 males had been flown dwelling, now protected and much away from the horrific circumstances of the Venezuelan jail. President Trump despatched out an X submit about how proud he was of his whole employees and Ric Grenell, and rightly so.
All smiles on board the airplane!

Nevertheless, what nobody bothered to submit about is that there are nonetheless 9 hostages left struggling in that actual jail the 6 had been introduced dwelling from. 9 American males, probably the most American Hostages in a single international jail anyplace on the planet.
Joseph St. Clair and Wilbert Casteneda are simply two of the 9 hostages. St. Clair is an Air Pressure veteran, and Casteneda is an active-duty Navy SEAL.
Each had been kidnapped and held hostage by Madura’s authorities. The precise period of time these two have been stored in captivity is unsure resulting from an absence of communication.
Scott St. Clair, father of Joseph, has been advocating for his son since he was alerted of his seize after the discharge of the six hostages in January.
“I acquired a name from a global quantity and in opposition to all odds I answered,” he then stated, “It was a name telling me that my son was being held, I had no concept previous to that decision.”
Joseph a extremely embellished USAF Vet has been recognized with PTSD after his army service. On the time of his seize, he was working in Columbia as a linguist.
From some data that was gathered, after the discharge of the 6 different hostages, it’s believed that Joseph might have been visiting an space that was near the Colombia/Venezuela border when he was kidnapped.
Christian Casteneda, brother of Navy Seal Wilbert, has heard little or no about his brother besides that his brother is, as of January thirty first, nonetheless alive. The shortage of communication and knowledge is irritating and hurtful to all of the households of those males.
Proof of life has not been provided for any of the hostages’ households. By means of all this struggling, God has drawn the households collectively. The households have grown shut and have turn into a help system for one another.
Some throughout the Trump administration have been out there to the households, and but these 9 males are nonetheless being held. The American folks want to assist arise for these households. That is, or ought to be, a non-partisan situation.
There are democrat representatives combating for criminals and illegals, and we’ve two younger males who’ve fought for us, We the Folks, in one of many worst prisons on the planet, having who is aware of what completed to them. We Individuals ought to be outraged that this has been neglected.
