This has been used for a long time but is becoming more advanced perhaps.
Medications have been used a long time to disable and control people in order to say change the will they have or get full power of the money they have , make them mad or suffer side effects they feel mad.
In scandinavia there were headlines how doctors were being paid to medicate patients in order to harm, disable or erase memory preferbly have them druling also in order to take money or title etc from them or maybe even a woman or man obsessed with marrying someone and another he/she wants so try erase memory or and drug them silly.
Suprised how much power doctors can have and miss use.
Specially when it is organised crime involved.
Imagine a billionaire or multimillionaire and how many are out to take that.
Or a title or a super duper wonderful spouse

.....
Also was reported torture performed by doctors.
They chose who they were to torture and had a group that were all "in on it".
This was also in news in scandinavia.
Woman waking during surgery and being raped or tied up and sadist sex games performed on them.
They even got confessions.
Some footage was even cought making a sadist porno out of it as it could be watched and sold for a load of money to chosen clientel.
One was having heart surgery and was awake.
One was having surgery and was told she does not deserve be given pain relief she was put to sleep and woken up and told they want watch her suffer.
Next to her laid a nother woman who they said was to look almost EXACTLY like you and she will become you and you will die .
She felt all the pain and saw what they did.
Hanging upside down on devices , man masturbating, rape, saying she last one ....
Scary thing is she then survived and found out some one else been living in her name and time look like her and she knows it same woman .
Many people were in on it and as she changed her name and also was slandered and lied about by power ful people it was difficult.
When she had changed her name and with catholic they told her to change her name and call her self a name of the one who been stealing from her who had become well known.
One had surgery.
Mean while they surgery on her to feel and look bad and down and lie.
She was also brain washed.
There is also a type of hypnotherapy that does much harm and erases memory and or does malicious programming.
In crime where so many are involved and information they do not want made public and if killing one after another may get to much attention media erasing memory seems better option.
Somewhere deep down ones soul may remember beyond the brain and with support one can get ones memory back. I beleive that. Healing can take place.
Much trauma and torture has occured and we need support each other heal but often these people commit crime are in power and fame and will not allow those happened to in church or be part society even specially some one stole the name and time.
Also heard of people forsing people wear burkas and even christians in on it because so much money make of them and stealing from them.
There is gentle exercises and understanding, healing and connecting with a real good people where one can get support , love and care as for those want isolate from such a good people who are this good they do not pretend the reign.
I am against torture.
Eraising memory is something they do do to people.
Also men have had anuses raped despite they are straight and if a man is little or has a woman side so to say but still straight some may try say they main and bi and lie and rape and keep name in cage at night cut wings and so forth.
God bless and best wish for brains and beings and healing.
and heard it spreading as beautician paid make people ugly and feel ugly or destroy there natural layersof protection of skin and colour and life etc as they jealous they make some this and others eeeverything stolen also such as acid attacks on client pays to have facial and then erase the name and time or evidence. much cheating.
