Answer 3

Brain washing is very real and very dangerous and a most frightening

technique, it has been used throughout history for many covert forms

of political plots by subversive governments, not to mention also cult

groups, such as heavens gate and jones town guiana, where you have

cult leaders inducing radical philosophies by means of reinforced drug

use accompanied by relentless methodical persuasion, such as was

the case in waco texas with cult leader david corresh . . .

Though only a movie, a great example and quite frightening one would

be what was done in the movie " The Manchurian Canidate " where it

was used along with post hypnotic suggestion, as an insidious time

released technique, where a subject is programed if you will, to carry

out some horrendus  deed at a later time, far from the actual place

where the brainwashing actualy took place, leaving the perpetrators

free of suspicion never having to answer for it . . .

All that was needed was a word cue, or even some inadvertant signal

such as a telephone ringing or even the most obscure littlest event that

would be irrelivant to an innocent bystander, yet could trigger the

subject into initiating whatever they were brainwashed to do, at any

given moment . . .

Such as an  asassination plot of any high ranking politcal figure

while leaving those responsible for it, totaly out of reach if not

oblivious alltogether, by any investigative powers, be it at home

or abroad . . .

And any organization requiring complete loyalty, like the military, utilizes brainwashing to some degree. Not in the turning-into-zombies way for either example, though. I don't think that's possible.
