Someone on Reddit claiming to be a student at the University of the West of England Bristol (UWE) is conducting a polygraph research study.  Here is the link to the survey:

In a case that demonstrates how an invalid procedure (polygraph screening) can nonetheless have some utility, a Chicago Police Department applicant named Antonio Tolar admitted on a pre-polygraph questionnaire to orchestrating the staged robbery of a Dollar General store.

Harlot was that your very first time or did you already posses a clearance? 

What a convenient way to get the honest FBI agents who investigated J6 out of the way.  I did both federal and state employment and it is hard to permanently fire a tenured employee, therefore, the new management needs a way to get tenured J6 agents out the door. So, I suspect any agent involved in J6 will "fail" the polygraph.  Ethics be damned.  Maybe they can get Dan Ribbacoff to examine the black agents involved in J6.

On Sunday, 23 February 2025, President Trump announced on Truth Social that he has chosen political commentator Dan Bongino, a former New York Police Department officer and U.S. Secret Service special agent, to serve as deputy director of the FBI.

Bongino's opinions on polygraphy may thus be a factor in FBI polygraph policy going forward. Regrettably, Bongino seems to be a believer in the evil art.

On 23 September 2024, after the killing of would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks in Pennsylvania and the arrest of would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh at the Trump International Golf Course near West Palm Beach, Florida, Bongino inferred that the U.S. government must be infiltrated by hostile agents and opined that the only solution is a polygraph dragnet.

Speaking to a $150,000 bounty that Routh had placed on Trump's head in a note found with him at the time of his arrest, Bongino said:

After nearly three years of running a Rocket.Chat server, we're retiring it and switching to SimpleX Chat, a secure messaging service that offers some privacy advantages.

SimpleX has no user IDs and requires no phone number or email address. All messages sent are end-to-end encrypted by default, and multiple relays are employed to make tracking of users much more difficult.

SimpleX retains features that were previously available under Rocket.Chat:

• ability to register a persistent profile (you can still participate as an anonymous guest);
• ability to delete your own posts;
• end-to-end encrypted direct messaging;
• audio posting;
• video posting;
• secure audio/video calling
• file sharing.

There is no centralized server. Instead, encrypted messages are sent via a decentralized globe-spanning network of relays.

The easiest way to join the AntiPolygraph.org Chatroom is on a mobile device. To install SimpleX Chat and join our chatroom on iOS or Android, follow this link:

https://antipolygraph.org/s/simplex-group

If you have already installed SimpleX Chat, you can join the AntiPolygraph.org Chat Room group by scanning the following QR code:








If you would prefer to set up a profile and participate on a desktop computer, start by downloading the desktop app:

https://simplex.chat/downloads/#desktop-app

Install and run the app, and you will be greeted with the following welcome screen:




If you already have SimpleX running on a mobile device and would like to use the same profile on a computer, you can do so by choosing "Link a mobile." Note that you will have to have both devices on the same local network.

But let's suppose instead you want to create a new profile that you'll use only on the desktop computer. Click on "Create your profile."

You'll be presented with the opportunity to create a profile name:




For demonstration purposes, we've chosen the name "Anonymous Polygraph Critic":




Next, you'll be prompted to choose a passphrase to encrypt your message database. The longer and more unguessable your passphrase, the more secure your saved messages will be:




Next, you will be prompted to select server operators. SimpleX's founder is recommending that users also check "Flux" to improve metadata privacy, so we have done so here.




Next we are presented with the conditions of use. Click the button at the bottom to accept:




After accepting the conditions of use, we are taken into the SimpleX Chat user interface. There is a place where you can keep private notes, but at present, we have no contacts:




Note the field in the lower left corner of the screen that says "Search or paste SimpleX link." Copy and paste the following link (it's long, make sure you've copied it all) and hit enter/return:

https://simplex.chat/contact/#/?v=2-7&smp=smp%3A%2F%2F1OwYGt-yqOfe2IyVHhxz3ohqo3aCCMjtB-8wn4X_aoY%3D%40smp11.simplex.im%2FM6Nqto7SqBrcb7ZjosFpAB5Zp-_NL-3G%23%2F%3Fv%3D1-3%26dh%3DMCowBQYDK2VuAyEAtjJ6kP0mnej7Qq6_xDMXytwFnsM838EdUNlIYQVyAT0%253D%26srv%3D6ioorbm6i3yxmuoezrhjk6f6qgkc4syabh7m3so74xunb5nzr4pwgfqd.onion&data=%7B%22groupLinkId%22%3A%22j25wKqrktXYyZKCKi1Caqg%3D%3D%22%7D

You will be presented with the following screen, offering you the option to join the group using your current profile name (we named ours "Anonymous Polygraph Critic") or to join using a new incognito profile. If you choose an incognito profile, a random user name will be generated for you:




We chose to use our current profile name (Anonymous Polygraph Critic). The following screen appears:




The notification that "You will be connected to group when the group host's device is online, please wait or check later!" is a reference to the device on which AntiPolygraph.org's SimpleX Chat profile is installed. (This device, running GrapheneOS, is almost always connected, so it shouldn't take long for you to be connected!)

Once you have been connected, you will be taken back into the primary SimpleX Chat user interface. The AntiPolygraph.org Chat Room now appears on your contacts list:




Click on the link on the left to display the chat room. You'll see a welcome message as well as up to the last 100 messages posted. Messages are presently set to be autodeleted after one month.

You can now participate in the chat room anonymously and securely!

As noted on the blog, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has reportedly issued instructions that DHS polygraph examinations "must include a question about unauthorized communications with media and nonprofit organizations."

Last night, Noem essentially confirmed the story during an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News. She told him with respect to the alleged leak of sensitive information about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids:

Quote:


I would be interested in hearing from any DHS personnel who may be required to submit to such polygraph screening for leaks. I can be reached securely and anonymously via either Signal or SimpleX Chat.

SimpleX Chat seems to be suitable to our purpose, and links to our chat room have been updated to point to it. The old chat room will remain online until at least the end of the month to allow users time to save any messages they may wish to keep.

Evgeny Poberezkin, the founder of SimpleX Chat, which we are considering as a replacement for our existing chat room, recently gave an online presentation about the platform that may be of interest:
