Russian general says "mind control and chips" caused terrorist attack in Moscow region

The Moscow Times reported the information.

On Saturday's broadcast of the Time Will Tell program, former head of the Russian Interpol bureau Ovchinsky said that the perpetrators of the Crocus attack could have been Western services.

According to him, they implanted chips that allowed the terrorists to attack people in the concert hall.

"Their consciousness was turned off, most likely, there were psychotropic substances, neuropsychological programming and, possibly, chips implanted in a complex. Because nowadays neurobiology allows you to control a person," the general said.

In his opinion, neuroscience already allows for human control. Ovchinsky cited the example of Elon Musk's Neurolink project, in which pigs were implanted with chips in their brains.

The Russian general also claims that this is a well-organized terrorist attack at the level of Western intelligence services, because only they have such means of influencing people.

Terrorist attack in Moscow’s Crocus City Hall 

In Krasnogorsk, Moscow region, a shooting took place at the Crocus City Hall concert venue before the start of the Picnic band's performance. Over 130 people have been reported dead as well as many wounded. The FSB says it has allegedly detained the suspects.

Starting on March 7, American diplomats warned of the threat of terrorist attacks in the Russian capital, Moscow. Subsequently, similar statements were made by representatives of several other Western countries.

Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate is convinced that the shooting at the Crocus shopping center in Moscow is a deliberate provocation by the Putin regime, and the Foreign Ministry said the world should strongly reject Russia's false accusations of Ukraine's alleged involvement. The White House also rejected Ukraine's involvement. 

On March 23, Vladimir Putin made an address on the terrorist attack. According to the Russian dictator, Ukraine was "preparing a window" to allow terrorists who had staged a terrorist attack in Moscow to escape. 

On March 25, at a meeting with security officials, Putin admitted that "radical Islamists" had carried out the attack, but blamed the shooting on "those who are fighting Russia with the hands of the Kyiv regime."

The Secretary of the Russian Security Council, the Director of the FSB, and the spokesperson for the Russian President repeated Putin's version of the "Ukrainian trace" and the involvement of Western intelligence services in the terrorist attack in Moscow. At the same time, self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko denied that the alleged perpetrators of the terrorist attack were trying to escape to Ukraine.

The Center for Countering Disinformation doubts that the Crocus attack could have been carried out by the perpetrators identified by the Russian authorities.

The US National Security Council (NSC) on Sunday, March 24, unequivocally rejected Russia's attempts to accuse Ukraine of organizing the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall shopping mall near Moscow.
