I wasn't going to make any comments on the Guthrie ordeal, but.......

I am going to make an assumption. I am most likely going to be wrong, yet I’m beginning to think that with all the chaos going on? I feel that this is military move by either our government or a foreign power?

This is why I think this way. The military style clothing that man in the video was wearing. 2) Trump doesn’t like the press, so? 3) Trump has pissed of so many governments and this their revenge? 4) Trump did kidnap Maduro?

I know it is all clinging to a feeling, yet look at the all of the different possibilities?

I hope they find Nancy Guthrie soon and she can be reunited with her family. 🙏

1. thinking the same-

She interviewed victims- jus' sayin'

2. I fear that she is dead.

The suspect or suspects are unwilling to make the swap for money. An understandably stressed out 84 yo woman on medication, isn’t getting her medication. This kidnapping has been botched, much like the Lindberg babies abduction.

3. This crime reminds me of

the gunning down of 2 DC National guardsmen by a former CIA OPERATIVE from Afghanistan. Speculation of the Taliban forcing the Afghani to gun them down or else his family back home would be killed by the Taliban.

Ring camera showed a bearded suspect with dark wide set almond eyes. Another Afghani forced to do a kidnapping on behest of the Trump/Taliban cabal?

It’s just a thought.

4. I immediately thought "military" when I saw the pictures.

Purely gut because I don't have anything, honestly, to base that on. But the way the subject moved and stood just gave me that impression.

I echo the sentiments already expressed that I hope Nancy Guthrie is found safe soon and reunited with her family. I cannot imagine the horror that they have been through.

5. If it was done to make some kind of statement it seems likely they would make

sure that the message is clear. It’s an awful lot of risk to take for what looks like a pointless crime. Also, it’s a pretty amateur operation for the military, and attacking an 84 year old female US citizen in the middle of the night is not something a military, US or foreign, would want on their record. If it’s politically motivated I would guess it’s some low-watt MAGA goon. Probably someone local who knew who she is and her living arrangement.

6. That is kinda of I was thinking, but there is something off about the whole concept.

Just that I think the message was to make people scared?

I thought why take an elderly woman? Maybe showing that they can get anyone, ie Trump?

You’re not off, but I just have an odd sense of why & I can’t put my finger on it.

7. There is nothing

professional or 'military' about the guys' attire or actions. These are absolute amateurs.

40+ minutes in the house, the gloves, a backpack with reflective strips, a semi auto handgun in a revolver holster...all as amateur as it gets.
