Hypnosis is a name that is used for a lot of variations of the same simple trick. Hypnosis is a social contract between a hypnosist and a person that agrees to become hypnotized. The hypnotist does some weird or impressive-looking gibberish, which allows the hypnotized to relax their inhibitions, and do stupid things without fear of being held responsible for their actions. This is similar to how most people use alcohol.
Hypnosis is used mainly for it's entertainment value, but is also used by some charlatans, quacks, and snake-oil salesmen in various "therapautic" settings. It's value in these settings has never been proven.
Mind control is mainly a concept which only exist in fantasy. Various conspiracy-nuts will often claim that the government, ufos, the illuminaty, CIA, KGB, or someone else uses mind-control to control the population (or some few important persons). In the real world, the closest we've gotten to a mind-control device, is a way to steer laboratory mouse by stimulating their pleasure/pain-center when the mouse starts to walk in the right or wrong direction.
Brain washing is a technique where people have their freedom taken away (such as in a prison or concentration camp), and are forced (by torture) to repeat certain ideological "beliefs". They will be constantly challenged to repeat and/or act according to these new "beliefs". Torture is often used extensively, and the victims are often kept days or weeks without sleep or food in order to reduce their resistance. China and USSR used to be pretty good at brain-washing.
Some few religious "cults" have often been accused of brain-washing their members. While there may be some similarities, the victims are usually only kept prisoners by psychological pressure. But food- and/or sleep-deprivation and mild torture isn't entirely unheard of.
However, it is important to be aware of that the most vocal critics of "cults" are usually religious right-wing christians that are most likely more concerned about the fact that some "cult" has a different belief than them, then they are over the ethics of that particular cult. As a result, many organizations accused of being "cults" are not, and should be viewed as any other religious society.

No...
Hypnotism is A peculiar state of consciousness artificially induced, a kind of sleep state that seems to liberate the subconscious powers of the subject. The subject executes suggestions made by the hypnotist as long as they do not conflict with deeper instincts. These suggestions may even be delayed to take affect after the subject comes out of the hypnotic state. The hypnotic state also can be self-induced in order to attain greater self-confidence, self-control, or management of pain.
Mind Control is the use of the subconscious to effect a temporary control of the conscious mind. Usally done while the subject is awake. The most common of these is subliminal advertising. Playing on the subconscious to affect a conscious response.
Brain WAshing is a combination of the above, to effect a permanent change in the thought processes.

i'm no longer being impolite, however the 1st article in basic terms proves itself. the 2nd article is even worse, beginning up with calling Bush administration the"puppet govenment". don't be over excited via people who see conspiracys everywhere. Pete Townsend of the Who observed the direction of those like the so called leaders of the creative 60's and found out issues they (the counter-custom) did no longer know themselves. He then wrote "Meet the recent boss, same via fact the old boss. won't get fooled lower back". rather i think of the author of the 2nd article is greater like the dictatorship of those he decries than the present political situation.

It is a form of mind control, and theoretically, it may be able to be used for brain washing, but I believe that would take time.
