I'm not sure it works that way, because of the wide cultural differences between the West and the Muslim world. Just as one example, the several colors have different associations over there. This isn't to say that MKULTRA-type programming couldn't be developed for the Muslim community--or even that it hasn't already--but the techniques that work on Westerners aren't going to be effective on towelheads.
Muslims are notoriously difficult to baseline on a polygraph machine, FWIW. Definitely different techniques would have to be developed. MKU was developed for Western "blindspots" in the psyche.
I was referring to the psyche map. Thats still handled. Polygraph isn't accurate anyways. So I have no odea what your argument is on baselining since it can all be spoofed.

Yeah no. The CIA has a cultural references map. They update it yearly. It includes the group, belief structure, color associations etc.
Source: Ive read several of them. Certain things stick out like in SA green means wealth. Shit like that.

You've obviously have great personal experience with counterintelligence (and above) polygraph investigations.
And what you are referring to is called the CIA World Factbook. It is updated yearly like an almanac. That has zero to do with polygraph examinations.
