If the PTB wanted to do random medical experiments on people, they could round up homeless people or people from third world ghettos who would simply never be seen again, and never be missed by anyone who counts in the eyes of society. (And they probably do do this too. *shudder*)
One important factor in victim selection for the earlier MKULTRA-style programs was hypnotizability. If a person was highly dissociative, then they were capable of being "put under" faster and--even more importantly--deeper than the average person. Existing memos indicate that there was a serious effort to identify optimal human guinea pigs, rather than just sample the public at large.
So just scooping up the easiest-to-obtain people wasn't the best way to go if your goal was a programmable mind. I don't doubt that they've preyed (and probably still prey) on random homeless people for other purposes, but if a Manchurian candidate or some other mind controlled human robot is the goal, then they need to identify the best raw material with which to begin.
As for why give them an odd screen memory (like UFO abduction memories), my best guess is that it will make the person more controllable, in that it can be used in a pinch to completely discredit anything that they later remember as "delusional" (because, of course, they're "fantasy-prone").
And if a person can be convinced that something truly terrifying has happened to them, but they're disbelieved by most of society, then a would-be Controller can use the same time-tested social engineering tricks that herd people into religions to corral these poor PTSDed trauma survivors into a UFO/alien abduction sub-culture. There, they can be further programmed, manipulated and, above all, observed.
I have a feeling that a great deal of useful social science data can be obtained from this kind of milieu. And those particular star guinea pigs who responded most optimally to their childhood programming can be recycled as experts (authors, speakers and even gurus) when they're adults--a sort of victim/handler thing, where the preyed-upon in turn prey upon others, but unknowingly, believing the alien abduction history with which they've been programmed since childhood.
This is my current thinking and is based on observations I've made myself, personally, from a lifetime spent within this sub-culture. I guess you could say that while I have no proof that I could present to a grand jury, I do have a hell of a lot of evidence and indications that something like this has been going on for 50 years.
And as for the astonishing percentage of people on psychiatric drugs right now, I agree with Maddy that it looks an awful lot like a deliberate "dumbing down" and "numbing up" of our society. A form of mass mind control that perhaps is meant to work with all the psy-op entertainment with which we're bombarded daily.

PS Remember too that assassins are probably only one part of the mind control programs...but they're certainly the part that the Controllers want us all to think of when we think "mind control." Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many exciting, glamorous movies made about them.
