On one page he writes: In July 1999, I wrote a public statement about my experience with the polygraph. At the time, I wrote under the pseudonym "Captain Jones." Much has happened since then, and I have now revised and expanded my original statement. See, "Too Hot of a Potato: A Citizen Soldier's Encounter With the Polygraph."

To add to what Taylor wrote, also Ervin Youngblood who recently retired from LAPD also gave a P.E. to Maschke for a law enforcement Intelligence Unit (Arablc and Farsi speaking) position; but he failed and was confronted by Youngblood.

To my knowledge, I don't believe that Maschke, despite being a former Intelligence Officer for the Army, was ever given a TES test; and his ONLY experience with polygraph is having failed two P.E.'s (Trimarco & Youngblood) which launched his obsession with AntiPolygraph.

I have taken him on at his website, for which he later banned me, for suggesting that his translation of The Lie Behind The Lie Detector into Arabic and/or Farsi in a time of war with radical Islam was in fact an act of Treason. I was backed up by Skip Webb and others in that argument, as a former Intelligence Officer (vs. an Infantry Officer) signs OTHER special documents in regard to the dissemination of the means, methods, and product(s) of intelligence. Maschke did acknowledge doing so, but sees this act as only at the level of an intellectual debate ((Typical PhD EggHead)), and did not see it for what it is as violating that oath, and aiding and abetting the enemies of the United States. To this day, I do not understand why his commission has not been recalled to active duty, and his being prosecuted under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or why a U.S. Prosecutor has not had him up on charges. To my mind, he should be put against a brick wall and shot if he could be convicted of the above. He is a stench and pariah among those who have honorably served in the intelligence community.

Nobody at DoDPI / DACA seems to have an answer as to protecting this profession from such moles as Maschke, and it may rather be their experience that they have never been so well funded before with him an Antithesis threat for more research or operational development. I only know that I expected more from our collective community to deal with this Patron Saint of Child Molesters, and someone who has gone native in cohorting with the Iranian government, and other radical Islamists---- perhaps the two lowest grades in humanity. I have further never understood why some Judge somewhere has not indicted Maschke for DIRECTLY interfering with their ordered PCSOT program which Maschke seeks to directly undermine for false negative outcomes in assitance to convicted sex offenders / child molesters. Isn't that a kin to some sort of assisting a felon after the fact in furtherance of their crime, or conspiring with them as to allow them to committ further crimes in the area as they are pre-disposed to do ???

But Sancho asked him if he ever participated in conversations or correspondance in Arabic, Farsi, Persian, or any of the other languages natively spoken by Al Qaeda , the Taliban, or Islamist insurgents in Iraq or Afganistan in which he described or explained the countermeasures described in his book; he didn't deny it.

He told Sancho it was none of his business and called poor Sancho a racist.

I agree with Sancho. It sounds like a tacit admission to providing aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States.

No. it is neither. By the time polygraph rolls around, the crime is done, so there's no "assisting" after the fact. (You're trying to argue accomplice liability, and he's not an accomplice any more than you are if you make a wrong call - which you can expect some of the time.) A conspiracy has to happen before the crime, and it requires a specific agreement between the parties.

As much as we may not like him, he has a right to free speech - even if he's an idiot. Why do we give him so much credit? The data shows that his book and advice isn't going to help anybody. If anything, he's only helping liars - and sadly, perhaps the truthful too - to fail.

Do a search on how to make a pipe bomb. Those folks are much more dangerous than GM, and most of them can't be prosecuted either - because they keep their content within the legal limits, just like GM.

It's good to know he exits, and it's good to know what he's telling people, but if you get all worked up over a blow hard, then you're letting the enemy win a battle he has otherwise lost.

I have said it before and I will say it again. GM is the best thing that ever happened to polygraph. I keep multiple copies of TLBTLD in my office in plain view. There is also one in the waiting area/lobby. I always watch my clients when they walk in to see what catches their eye. Some are even dumb enough to comment on it when they see it. I also have copies of other CM info on display as well.
It is a clear message to my examinees that yes, I know about this stuff too.
I think all of us should check GM's site on a daily basis. Don't be surprised when you see a post by "Steven S" and severl days later have an examinee by the name of Steven Smith.

Anything or anyone that forces us to look inward at ourself and what we do can only help us do a better job.

I personally love the wide eyed panic look in the eyes of many young computer savey examinees when I start to talk about the "whoopie cushion" and sometimes even mention ole Georgie's name in my pre-test.

I just have to believe that if a Judge were told that a Post Conviction Sex Offender under his order of treatment were directly sabotaging that treatment plan given in lieu of compliance, that this offender would be yanked from such a program. Further, that any person (Maschke) who "knowingly" assisted such an offender to NOT remain compliant in their program, would fall under comtempt of court in that jurisdiction of that judge, and be chargeable.

Freedom of speech as written in our constitution was/is oriented toward political speech, or the protection of the right to further a minority opinion. To my mind a convicted Felon does not enjoy their full civil rights in all areas; nor does freedom of speech appear to prevail when a person who is "assisting" a bona fide and convicted offender to derail judicial intent, with only the probable furtherance of their creating "future" victims from that interference. Whether Maschke's little downloadable book works or not is not my point, but rather his knowingly and directly undermining the judicial intent in sentencing, or being in contempt of the judiciary when he interacts with such felons. No surprise to Maschke, he would appear to inspire such high risk offenders for their repeating their sex crimes with the comforting thoughts he forwards that they could / would / will beat the polygraph element of their tri-phased program.

Call me a simpleton if you want to, but I'm from the wisdom of life experience on a farm. We folk don't have to be dipped in S&*t to know it stinks. Maschke stinks, and we need to provide pragmatic ideas to those prosecutors or other legal bodies who may be willing to take action on behalf of not only our profession, but for the protection of the public. Same for our imposters such as Grogan------- who claims to be doing PCSOT !!!!!!!!!!! GOD HELP THIS PROFESSION !!!

No. That's wrong. We don't provide pragmatic ideas. We gather evidence they need to prosecute a case, but we need to do it within the parameters of the law - not wishful thinking - or we end up being made to look like fools. Have you ever investigated a crime? You don't just throw stuff against a wall and see what sticks. You have to swear you have PC to support a real crime that you really believe you can prove, and the prosecutor has to believe he or she has a case that can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

Where have you ever heard GM say to a child molester, "Go out and re-offend"? He hasn't. GM really believes that polygraphing sex offenders is more of a public safety risk than not doing so because he doesn't believe it works. (He would seem to have the NAS on his side.) Calling a person a "criminal" when you can't prove it is an element of a tort - and you'd be the defendant.

He can't be in contempt as he isn't the subject of a court order.

George is smart, and he's looking for a guy like you who thinks with his heart instead of his head. Do yourself a favor and don't become a victim. You're letting your (admirable) passion get in the way of a logical response.

Here's my challenge to you if you still think there's a crime: Find a law you think he violated and then apply those facts to the law and demonstrate that they support a conviction. Good luck, but I won't hold my breath. That's what we do every day in law enforcement. We don't just call prosecutors names or name them for doing nothing. We bring them the evidence they need to prosecute a case. If we don't have it, they don't prosecute it. If our complainants don't have any evidence, then we don't waste our time either - even if a crime was committed.

George is not our problem. The fact that mental and physical countermeasures can negate the efficacy of our test is the problem. We either have to get really good at countering the CMs or we need to develop a test that circumvents CMS or makes them useless.

Most diagnostic tests can be defeated or countermeasured if one wants to skew or frustrate the procedure and the resulting diagnosis. Unfortunately some of our clients have a reason to do so.

I can assure you that when the draft was in effect, we had a number of people who faked or counter measured the hearing test and the eye test in an effort to get out of the draft. If there had been an internet back then, you can bet it would have been full of CM sites telling one how to do it. Even when I was drafted, people were told through the grape vine to put a bar of soap under their arm in an effort to elevate their blood pressure??????????

I know we like to vent our frustration on George but the reality is we are angry not so much with George as we are with the limitations of what we do and the ease with which it can be frustrated.
