"Radio Canada" -- VE7KFM & FRIENDS
Update: Fall 2010
Opponents of Karol Madera Claim Victory
For the past several years we've monitored the antics of Karol Florian Madera (VE7KFM) of 3040 Tillicum Road, Saanich, BC, both on and off the air.
Madera's misogynistic, violent, racist diatribes and threats, have been heard all over the world.
Following Madera's exposure as a filthy-mouthed fraud ~and fruitcake (thank you Riley Hollingsworth) Madera became persona non grata on most forums.
In fact, Madera is the object of scorn and derision on several websites and forums. Madera's routinely banned wherever fraud and deceit are rejected and where truthfulness and proper decorum are necessary for participation.
Madera's false complaints to Industry Canada, the FCC, and law enforcement, have been routinely dismissed. Madera's subsequent complaints have been ignored. Madera has become the target of police investigations in at least two countries. Law enforcement agencies routinely reach out for information about Madera's latest threats and conspiracies.
Even Madera's closest friends speculate that, in addition to years of abuse of pain killers and alcohol, self-induced brain damage may be the source of Madera's behavior.
Canadian Fraud Persists
Fraud appears to be Madera's favorite currency. Listen to this curious recording which Canadians on the island of Victoria have traced to a familiar residence on Tillicum Road in Saanich, BC.
Witnesses speculate Karol Madera recorded KZ8O and then purposely played the recording on the air, severely disrupting the operation of the most recent Boy Scout jamboree, much as Madera played a recording of N1FM over and over again in order to interfere with others over the past year. Enforcement officials agree. KZ8O did not interfere with the Boy Scouts.
This episode seems to be a form of "payback" for previous reports to the FCC about Madera's radio co-host, Glenn Baxter, regarding a Baxter broadcast which allegedly interfered with a Boy Scout Jamboree on 3.890 mHz on October 15/16, 2004.
See W5JON's report:
November 30, 2004:
For the record, I was one of the stations on 3.890 communicating with the Boy Scouts, on October 16, 2004, when K1MAN destroyed the QSO for 15 stations, in 2 countries and about 70 Boy Scouts.
For my complaint to the FCC regarding that "malicious interference", I have been singled out on the K1MAN "broadcast" and Web site as "Head of the Lloyd Youth, W5JON", for "The American Amateur Nazi Party ".

Madera -- Forced to Substantial Compliance
Our readers report that for most of this summer, Madera has been confined to operating at low power, after 11 PM Eastern Time.
The absence of obscenities, vulgarities, slander, threats, and filth, as broadcast by Madera at times where children might be listening, has been a welcome change. Madera's presence has not been missed.
We have received hundreds of copies of complaints against Karol Florian Madera over the past few years. There are over 2,000 complaints in the Industry Canada archives alone.
Yes, Madera's still disgusting. He's still peddling fraudulent reports and still complaining about "Laura's cunt" and he's still lying about jammers, the "Royal Canadian Mounted Pussies" and the Faggots at the "Faggot Bureau of Investigation" and the "Faggot Communications Commission" but he's on much, much later for those on the East coast, and most of the time he's barely readable. Thank God for small mercies.
Complainants are to be congratulated. Their continued complaints and protests to law enforcement have obviously been very productive.
Other Madera Associates Forced to Comply
Todd E. Daugherty (N9OGL) Guilty of Criminal Harassment
Karol Madera's close friend and confidant, Todd E. Daugherty, who has participated in Karol Madera's harassment campaign, has been found guilty of criminal harassment by electronic means.
Daugherty has been ordered to pay State's Attorney and Sheriff's fees and payments to victims of violent crime.
In addition to approximately $6,500 in fines, fees, and legal costs, Daugherty is on probation for 2 years.
Daugherty's probation includes "special conditions" designed to keep him off the Internet and away from those he has criminally harassed.
If Daugherty engages in similar conduct during his probationary period, his crime will be upgraded and jail time will ensue.
Daugherty Faces Civil Suit on August 30
Todd E. Daugherty is facing still more legal problems associated with unpaid debt. On August 30, he'll be in court again.
Mark Morgan (KB9RQZ) -- Indictment for Rape of a Child
Mark Morgan, a good friend of Karol Madera, who has aided Madera in the perpetration and distribution of fraudulent false reports against Madera's perceived "enemies," recently posted an affidavit about a felony indictment for rape of a child against himself, which he described as a "real indictment" on his obscure and poorly written blog.
We're unsure as to why Morgan published this information about himself, but it may have something to do with the fact that he has been a frequent inpatient in Michigan psychiatric facilities this year. Excerpts of text on Morgan's blog follows:
Illiopolis, IL
Indictment, count one:
Felony rape and sodomy of a child
Indictment, count two:
Unlawful confinement of a child
Indictment, count three:
Felony threatening of a child under 18
Indictment, count three:
Committing an unnatural act on the person of a child
Affidavit of arresting officer:
On 3 April I was personally notified by the parent of (redacted) a child of 9, who told his parent, a Mrs. Sherry (redacted) of (redacted) that he had been invited to the home of a Mr. Mark C. Morgan, IL DL # (redacted) to partake in a birthday celebration and to pet the dog of Mr. Morgan.
As relayed to this affiant, when Morgan and the victim arrived at the Morgan residence, there was no dog, but cake was served along with a red juice drink which Mrs. (redacted) now suspects was drugged with some type of hypnotic sedative.
The victim then reported to this affiant that he became ill with an upset stomach, where upon the victim vomited on his shirt and pants where upon Mr. Morgan suggested the victim change into a bathrobe until such time as Mr. Morgan could launder the victims soiled clothes.
The victim stated Mr. Morgan did launder the clothes, and in the meantime, the victim told this affiant that Mr. Morgan began to fondle the victim under the bathrobe he was wearing and did perform an act of sodomy and an act of penetration of the anus of the victim with his finger.
When the victim protested and asked to leave the residence, Mr. Morgan said the victim could leave after they watched cartoons together and then offered the victim money and a set of action figures if the victim would remain silent about the encounter.
The victim's mother Mrs. (redacted) said she became suspicious about the incident when the victim returned home with freshly laundered clothing.
At this time the facts of the case have been turned over to IL children's protective services who made a mandated report to the Sheriff's Dept in Sangamon county. Because the child is a resident of Illiopolis, but was taken from the park, S. of route 36 in Lanesville TWP, which is beyond the jurisdictional limits of this department, the case was referred to the county for prosecution.
Deputy Sheriff CL Drake reports to this affiant that the Sheriff's office has charged Mr. Morgan as in the copy of the charge sheet attached and as above. Mr. Morgan was held in Sangamon county lockup with $100,000 bail pending preliminary hearing on 25 May.
Testified under oath by affiant, Officer James P. McNeil, badge #327, IPD.

Impromptu SPECIAL EVENT for VE7KFM.com
This week, one of our readers kicked off a month-long Special Event celebration on 14272 kHz, commemorating VE7KFM.com's 5 year anniversary. Although the event sponsor is not affiliated with this website, we appreciate the recognition. Several readers submitted ideas for a certificate, suitable for framing. If you worked the Special Event station on 14272 and vicinity, feel free to download this Special Certificate submitted by Hr. Fichtner of Schleswig-Holstein.
Readers Report VE7KFM is jamming the SPECIAL EVENT station!
Multiple reports sent from the vicinity of 3040 Tillicum Road, Saanich, BC and elsewhere, indicate Karol Madera, VE7KFM is jamming the Special Event station on 14.272 mHz. Obscene tape recordings, distorted diatribes, threats, and racist remarks have been reported as emanating from Karol Madera's radio station. Reports indicate Jim Laursen at Industry Canada has been notified... calls to (250) 383-4242 have not been answered.
More of Madera's Compatriots Forced into Compliance
First Degree Attempted Murder Charge for Brandon Duke
Karol Madera's friend Brandon Duke will be charged with attempted first-degree murder. Boulder County Judge Noel Blum agreed with the prosecution and said Duke's case can move forward on the count of attempted first-degree murder, as well as a slew of other charges -- including felony menacing, carrying a concealed weapon and first-degree assault. Duke is scheduled to enter a plea in the case Aug. 20.
Mark Morgan Spamming Newsgroups
According to readers of the popular newsgroup, Recreation Radio Amateur Policy (RRAP) Mark Morgan, KB9RQZ, of Tapiola, MI, is spamming and flooding the newsgroup, rendering it unusable for discussion.

Todd E. Daugherty, N9OGL
GUILTY
Todd E. Daugherty another friend and close confidant of Karol Madera, VE7KFM, has been found guilty of criminal harassment. Daugherty will be sentenced by Judge Spears on August 9, 2010. This charge can result in a sentence of:
* Up to 6 months in Jail; and/or
* A fine of up to $1,500
* Attorney fees and court costs
* Restitution paid to victim(s)
Daugherty was previously WARNED by the FCC ( #1, #2 ) for alleged infractions of federal law pertaining to his Shortwave/CB "Smegma One" radio station.
There is widespread speculation that Daugherty's current charge is only the beginning for Daugherty. Sources indicate Daugherty may also face future federal charges of criminal harassment, threatening, stalking, and solicitation of murder for other statements allegedly placed on the Internet by Daugherty.
Another of Madera's Associates Facing Charges...
David J. Tolassi (WA1BHV)
Criminal Harassment Complaint
David J. Tolassi, a man who calls Karol Madera his "friend and professor" was visited this weekend by Police in Barre Vermont, regarding a complaint of criminal harassment. The officer who spoke with Tolassi warned him that even a single additional complaint will result in formal charges being filed against Tolassi.
Brandon Duke (KJ4SGZ)
Attempted Murder...
Karol Madera's good friend and close confidant Brandon Duke (KJ4SGZ) fired at a police officer with a Kel-Tec .380 pistol when the officer contacted Duke about an outstanding assault charge. Duke's shots missed the officer and Duke was wounded 3 times when the officer returned fire.
Karol Madera's advice "Just Shoot Them" was apparently taken seriously by Brandon Duke. The young man, like other close friends of Madera's, has suffered from mental health problems for most of his life. Like other mentally ill amateur operators, Duke was deliberately cultivated, manipulated, lied to, and taken advantage of by Karol Madera.
According to the Longmont Times-Call, "At various times, Duke said that he had 'blacked out' and could not remember what happened, that he remembered pulling the gun but only to toss it aside, and that he thought he was being chased by a zombie and was only shooting as a warning or to protect himself. The district attorney's review of the shooting determined Blake's actions were entirely justified in light of the situation."
According to the Boulder Daily Camera, "Duke faces numerous charges including attempted second-degree murder, third-degree assault, harassment, menacing, carrying a concealed weapon, and reckless endangerment He's due next in court for a preliminary hearing on July 1."
For his part, Karol Madera stated Duke "opened fire too soon" and "he should have closed the range, and the outcome might have been somewhat different." Duke is the latest friend of Madera's to be arrested and jailed. Predictably, Madera has minimized Duke's previous convictions, and has called the Longmont police "assholes." Madera also blamed Longmont and other Colorado officers for "sloppy police work."
Like Madera's other friend, Dr. Joe, the "Pirate of the Caribbean," who stole the callsign EA1AET from a woman in Spain, Duke was encouraged to operate illegally on the 20 meter band. Like the Pirate of the Caribbean, Duke jammed 14.275 mHz with Karol Madera, VE7KFM. Following conviction for felony charges, it's likely Duke will lose his amateur license.
Karol Madera's Friends
Fraud, Deceit, Criminality
Joseph F. Goldberg (KJ4DVD) of Tavernier, Florida, received a time and frequency limited license from the FCC, allegedly due to jamming on 20 meters with Karol F. Madera, while fraudulently using a stolen callsign (EA1AET).
Madera's sometime radio co-host, Glenn A. Baxter (K1MAN) of Belgrade Lakes, Maine, received a $21,000 fine from the FCC.
David J. Tolassi of Barre, Vermont, who calls Madera his good friend and 'professor,' was questioned by authorities for threatening to murder two individuals. In June, 2010, Tolassi was again questioned by authorities regarding a complaint of criminal harassment.
Whitney V. Tritch of Fredericksburg, VA, another friend of Madera's, was referred to the U.S. Attorney of the eastern district of Virginia, for harassment and stalking, after he was found to have accessed a computer used in interstate commerce while using fraudulent and falsified computer credentials.
David J. Tolassi of Barre Vermont, Todd E. Daugherty of Taylorville, Illinois, and Glenn A. Baxter of Maine, were specifically instructed by Madera to shoot individuals whom Madera targeted. Glenn Baxter wisely disassociated himself from Madera, however, the others have remained in contact with the Canadian.
Bill Shine (K3TP)
Jamming 14.272 and vicinity?
Dear Editor of VE7KFM.com,
I believe I heard William Brendan Shine (K3TP) jamming a few evenings ago on 14.272 mHz without benefit of call sign.
I say this ~advisedly because I'm very familiar with his voice and diction/speech patterns.
According to Karol Madera (VE7KFM) Bill Shine is a dear friend and ardent supporter.
KFM has published many of Mr. Shine's supportive words on his harassment website, hosted by SHAW in Canada.
Also according to KFM, Bill Shine works for General Dynamics C4 Systems, on potentially sensitive military projects.
Something tells me Mr. Shine's close relationship with the foul-mouthed, terrorist-supporting Canadian, Karol Madera, will not be 'career-enhancing.'
And it certainly won't bode well for any security clearance he may or may not possess at General Dynamics C4 Systems!
Please add this to my previous submission.
I'm located in the midwest. I have a very large beam. I often coordinate listening/triangulation sessions with friends. They also have large directional antennas and we can easily tell when the jamming comes from areas like Saanich, BC; Fredericksburg, VA; Barre, VT; Peoria, AZ; Maryville or Taylorville, IL; Camp Verde, AZ; Islamorada, FL; etc.
Our hope is that Laura Smith will begin to target Madera's handful of supporters. They increased their jamming efforts immediately after Madera was outed by Chuck Skolaut, K0BOG, ARRL's Field & Regulatory Correspondent.
When Skolaut published Laura Smith's email, which, in my view, painted Karol Madera as a liar and a fraud, these criminals began playing music and obscene tape recordings twice as often as they had before.
[Note: Karol Madera, Todd Daugherty, Joseph Italiano, Joseph Goldberg, David Tolassi, William Shine, William Herberg, and Whitney Tritch are all located in the areas mentioned in the foregoing submission]

FCC's Judy Lancaster
Crowell Case in High Gear!
The Bureau notes that this case (W6WBJ) was in inactive status for a considerable length of time during which no new discovery was imitated. Now that the case has been restored to active status, the Bureau intends to engage in robust discovery. See latest documents here.
Congratulations to Laura Smith!
Laura Smith of the FCC has announced she will be taking maternity leave in June. At the Dayton Hamvention, the FCC's Bill Cross announced that the Smith's will be adopting a child from Russia. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Smith all the best as they welcome the newest addition to their growing family.
Karol Madera, VE7KFM Congratulates Laura Smith
Following Laura Smith's announcement that she will be taking maternity leave, Karol F. Madera of 3040 Tillicum road, Saanich, BC, Canada, called her a dumb cunt, and stated that he intends to "put the boots to Laura." Madera's disgusting remarks speak for themselves:
[Audio courtesy Tom Steckbauer, KE9RY]
Madera has published his email correspondence with Laura Smith, and stated he would also publish an email where he discussed whether she was a cunt, smelly, or otherwise.
Madera went on to say "Laura can suck his cock anytime."
Prior to the Dayton Hamvention 2010, Madera discussed his plans for a CQ Dayton Fruitcake Contest, where he planned to "put the boots to Laura."
Madera told his good friend, George Zardecki, N9VTB, that Laura doesn't know it yet, but that he (Madera) plans to create a web page called "Laura's Spreading Her Legs.
At five years and counting, there's no word from Industry Canada as to how long they plan to allow the malicious harassment to continue.
FCC and ARRL Identify Canadian Liar and Fraud
Amateur Radio Newsline Reports
Amateur Radio Newsline (heard around the world on thousands of repeaters, on HF, and on the world wide web) has republished the report of the ARRL's Field & Regulatory Correspondent, Chuck Skolaut, as seen on a web page maintained by the Official Observer Coordinator for the Ohio Section, Rick Swain.
Excerpts of the Newsline report can be heard here.
Laura Smith of the FCC advised Skolaut and Swain that the Canadian (Karol Madera, VE7KFM) has been engaging in "a weak attempt" to get others in trouble with the FCC, and that his plan "did not work." Skolaut then passed that information on to the Official Observer corps at the ARRL.
According to published reports obtained by the Center for Media Studies, Karol Madera, VE7KFM has been engaged in a multi-year campaign of malicious lies, libel, slander, false allegations to officials, and threats, including incitement to murder.
The FCC's current advisory is seen as a continuation of the FCC Enforcement Bureau's point of view about the "Fruitcake in Canada" who is "several french-fries short of a Happy Meal." Such was the gravamen of a previous communication in an FCC Forum, about Karol Madera (VE7KFM), by the FCC's Special Counsel, Agent Riley Hollingsworth, at the Dayton Hamvention.
Radio Enthusiasts Disgusted by Karol Madera, VE7KFM
The following is a direct quote about Karol Madera, VE7KFM.
"Why anyone would bother I dont know. After reviewing a webpage dedicated to this morons antics and seeing pictures of how this filthy pig lives, I now pity him.
He is a dirtbag who cant even take out a hose and bother with a can of paint to spruce up that rat infested cabin he calls a home. His Volvo is laced with tetinus causing rust tumors and with any luck the outhouse this guy lives in will fall in over his head and that will be that. Give him the credit he is due, he is a filthy animal who is too lazy to keep his home in order but would rather sit by his crusty old mic and yell silly comments over the air.
Someone should hand him a bucket, a bar of soap for bathing and a job in McDonalds as he is not worth anyones time nor should he have a website dedicated to himself. He is obviously lonely and with any luck, he will find a beam thats not rotted in that slum he calls home and hang himself from it.
The statement above was submitted by radio enthusiast Richard A. Russo of 606 Windcrest Court, Brick, NJ 08724. Mr. Russo's statement was posted on a popular radio-oriented website. Mr. Russo's opinion is typical of thousands of comments on websites throughout the world.
Enforcement Agencies Agree
In response to the FCC's in-depth investigation and subsequent rejection of Karol Madera's false allegations, Madera has recently made several misogynistic, slanderous, and obscene comments, and threats, against Laura Smith of the FCC. The FBI, Homeland Security, and FCC Security officials have been notified about these threats.
Karol Madera is well known for inciting murder and for calling on al Qaeda to kill Americans with roadside bombs. Madera has also offered a large sum of money to the mosque of Al Qaeda's choice, if they will murder individuals whom Madera has targeted. Several of Madera's close associates have been indicted for crimes, from identity theft, to computer fraud, license fraud, threats against persons and property, and attempted murder.
We are currently seeking more information about rumors that circulated last week, indicating that bomb threats against the FCC may be connected to ongoing threats from Canada, and/or to one or more known associates of Karol Madera.
VE7KFM.com Stands Against Hate Speech, Intolerance, and Violence
Today, we congratulate the organizations and individuals who have taken a stand against racism, bigotry, misogyny, and violence. Karol Florian Madera, of 3040 Tillicum Road, Saanich, BC, V9A 2B3 has unfairly attempted to damage the reputations of the following, simply for taking action in filing reports against him; and/or banning him from web forums; and/or expressing opinions against his distribution of bigotry, lies, libel, violence, and intolerance.

Karol Madera (VE7KFM) threatens FCC Agent Laura Smith
In deference to the Easter/Passover holidays, we delayed this report, due to the following disgusting and ungentlemanly content provided by VE7KFM
Karol Madera has threatened Laura Smith of the FCC. Madera says he will "put the boots to the bitch" unless she carries out his instructions. Madera is also asking his on-air correspondents to contact Laura Smith with false and fraudulent complaints against the usual victims. Our sources at the FBI, FCC, and State Department report that Madera is considered persona non grata in the United States, and none of his complaints (or indeed any complaints stemming from the fruit of the poisoned tree) will be heard or considered.
Brandon Duke in Jail Again
On March 26, Karol Madera's good friend, Brandon Duke (KJ4SGZ ex: KD0BSH) was once again booked into the Boulder County Jail and charged with computer crimes and Identity theft. Several radio operators have reported that Duke sold them radio merchandise, and then failed to deliver the goods. Duke also allegedly used the names of others to perpetrate his alleged crimes. His mentor Karol Madera, urged Duke to commit crimes while Duke was still a minor, and readers may recall that Duke temporarily lost his FCC operating privileges as a result of those transgressions.
Joseph F. Goldberg (KJ4DVD) Granted 2 year Conditional "Mini" License
Karol Madera's good friend Joseph F. Goldberg, has been granted another 2 year conditional "mini" license by the FCC. Readers report that Goldberg was heard jamming, repeatedly, in violation of his previous conditional grant. The new grant again prohibits Goldberg from transmitting between 14.272 and 14.278 mHz. Goldberg is a well-known liar who cooperated in jamming with VE7KFM while using a Spanish female's callsign (EA1AET). Joseph Goldberg, Brandon Duke, Mark Morgan, Whitney Tritch, David Tolassi, and Todd Daugherty, were all encouraged to break the law by Karol Madera, VE7KFM... with typical results.
Todd Daugherty (N9OGL) Criminal Harassment
Karol Madera's good friend, Todd Daugherty, N9OGL was scheduled to appear in an Illinois court on March 8, 2010. He appeared again on April 6. His pre-trial Hearing is on May 11, and his jury trial will be held on June 1st at 8:30 AM, for those who may want to attend. Daugherty is facing a charge of criminal harassment by electronic means. Daugherty was incited and counseled to harass others by Karol Madera, VE7KFM, over a period of several months. Daugherty ignored advice to remove his harassing blog and to disassociate himself from Karol Madera. Daugherty stubbornly refused to heed that advice, and like so many others, Daugherty is now facing legal consequences for his actions.
Homophobe Karol Madera "Detests Closeted Faggots"
A recent conversation about homosexuality led Donald Anderson N4TAT to sever his 8 year friendship with Karol Madera VE7KFM. Madera stated that he detests limp-wristed, pink-shirt-wearing, malicious, dangerous, closeted faggots, and faggoty-looking individuals.
In response, Anderson called Madera "intolerant, bigoted, racist, homophobic, and deplorable." Anderson also said Madera engaged in "disgusting hate speech," and called him a "dangerous man, espousing dangerous views." Madera told Anderson, he suspected Anderson must be "one of those closeted faggots" and he told Anderson, "Let go of your big cock; I understand you have a big cock; you're well-endowed; you should be happy."
Journal of Abnormal Psychology: Homophobes Harbor Homosexual Fantasies
Many homophobic individuals, like Karol Florian Madera, VE7KFM, actually engage in secret homosexual fantasies, where their public expressions of homophobia serve to cover feelings of shame regarding their own deeply seated homosexual fantasies. Madera has indicated he is subliminally jealous of Donald Anderson's "long dong" as he put it, and believe it or not, Madera said he has frequent, involuntary thoughts regarding Anderson's long dong.
According to an article appearing in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, published by the National Institute of Health, "Homophobia [like that expressed by Karol Madera] is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies."
Violent Homophobe - Madera Invokes Nazi Cure
In a violent expression against homosexuals in general, Madera said Anderson's tolerant views of gays should lead to a lobotomy. Next, Madera called Anderson some variation of an idiot (absolute idiot, American idiot, fucking idiot, etc.) a total of 26 times. , and he called Anderson an American piece of shit, twice, and a closeted faggot, several times. Madera went on to suggest Anderson should use a straight razor on himself, and failing that, perhaps someone would visit Anderson, and use one on him.
This is not Madera's first public violently homophobic episode. Madera has often verbalized his fantasies of homosexual rape on the air. Madera also singled out Rob Fraser, the former head of the Victoria Real Estate Board (VREB) as one of the "closeted faggots" he detests. Madera previously referred to Fraser as a secret homosexual conspirator in the VREB. Fraser is reportedly one of many who spoke out against Madera at Madera's Law Society Hearing, which quickly became a referendum on his fitness for admission. Madera failed to gain entrance to the Law Society as a result of that hearing.
BC Law Society Praised for Madera Rejection
Admission to the Society is a prerequisite before someone holding a bachelor of laws degree can become a lawyer in Canada. Madera was refused entrance due to his refusal to submit to questioning by the Society, after numerous affidavits and statements were presented, opposing his fitness for admission.
Some of the affidavits and statements were submitted by VREB members who called the Victoria police, alleging that Madera had threatened them, harassed them, intimidated them, and sent them disgusting, sexually oriented email. For his part, Madera referred to them as "a bunch of closeted faggots who controlled the board in a secret society of the alternate persuasion."
After parting company with VREB (and being barred from the premises and use of the computer system, according to legal documents obtained by the Center for Media Studies) and after suing the Board and losing, Madera was ordered to pay Board members $1,000 each. He later accused Board members of being "a bunch of faggots who bought off, or sucked off the judge [Chief Justice Keith Bracken] in chambers."
Madera, who is 65 years old, has been accused by multiple parties of being a racist, a homophobe, a bigot, and a pedophile. Specifically, Donald Anderson said Madera's "view of detesting homosexuals is akin to selling ax handles to beat people because of the color of their skin." He said Madera's "views are dangerous and unacceptable." Those listening to the exchange, with the exception of Madera, verbally applauded Anderson's measured response.
Madera Outs Fellow Classmates
In his defense, Madera said he once supported two gay classmates who were drummed out of the military (Royal Military College, class of 1970), because they were effeminate and presumed to be gay ( apparently #8270 Sherman Embree,1784 East Sable River Road, Sable River, NS, B0T 1V0 (902) 656-2793 scembree"at"auracom.com and #8494 David Czop 356 River Ridge Cres, Orleans, ON, K1E 3N3 (613) 830-7454 czop"at"cyberus.ca -- based on broad hints supplied by Madera, when he unabashedly "outed" them on the air. ).
"Mr. Madera -- You Are An Extremely Bigoted Racist"
Madera directed these comments to an African American man, Bob Woodford, N8JOX, whom he referred to as Jigaboo Bob, the Uncle Tom" while calling him "boy" in a racially insulting and mocking manner. Fortunately, N8JOX was spared Madera's racist invective, since he was not on the frequency, as Madera talked to himself...
Madera's 40 minute spiel, where he became notably unglued, was described as racist and anti-homosexual hate speech, or, as another typically psychotic rant, the tension was lessened somewhat as several individuals referred to Madera as "button-dick" -- which promises to become an even more popular moniker than his present nickname, "the Fruitcake."
Listen to the conversation here, here, and here. See our Audio Repository for more of Madera's "hate speech," as Donald Anderson calls it. Donald Anderson also identified Madera as an extremely malicious Narcissist. Read about the diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder here.

Misogynist Madera Reports...
"Teresa Zardecki Does Not Have Big Tits!"
According to Karol Madera, Mrs. Teresa A. Zardecki of 4845 North Moody, Chicago, IL 60630, does not have big tits.
We're not sure why Karol Madera (VE7KFM) felt compelled to discuss this with George Zardecki (N9VTB) over amateur radio. And, we're not sure what Teresa Zardecki (KC9FMD) thought of Madera's statements, which were beamed to the United States by Madera, reportedly with an effective radiated power of 15,000 watts.
However, we can state that Madera was rude, inconsiderate, and thoughtless, but he was apparently telling the truth. There really is a first time for everything. For his part, George Zardecki was not pleased with Karol Madera's comments, but they seem to have patched up their differences.
Mr. Zardecki has been heard recently, speaking with his old friend Karol, from his modest but tidy home in Chicago. This, despite Madera's many anti-semitic utterances, which include calling Zardecki hooknosed, swarthy, and cheap, and despite Madera's rude and piggish comments about Zardecki's wife. Why is Zardecki still speaking to Madera...? No one knows.
Reader Commentary
Dear Center for Media Studies: Why is it that according to public documents I've read, most of Karol Madera's friends seem to be criminals or lunatics of one kind or another? Brandon Duke was convicted and sentenced to crimes related to theft and fraud. Joe Goldberg was cited for radio piracy. Ed Oswald Jr. was arrested for crimes related to rioting, failure to disperse, and resisting arrest. Joseph Italiano has a record in Illinois. Harassment charges were forwarded to the Houghton County DA about Mark Morgan, and he spent a week in a locked psychiatric ward. Glenn Baxter received a $21,000 Forfeiture, and Todd Daugherty was arrested and charged with a criminal felony. Can you tell us if Madera has any friends who aren't criminals and/or psychopaths? I know I'm missing a few, but you get my drift. Thanks, and sign me "Curious in California."
Dear Curious: Birds of a feather? [Editor]
An update on the Todd E. Daugherty, N9OGL case:
In a law enforcement victory consisting of close cooperation between citizens, the FBI, FCC, and state and local authorities, Karol Madera's associate and co-conspirator, Todd Eugene Daugherty, of Taylorville, Illinois has been criminally charged by the State of Illinois. In addition to Daugherty being charged with a criminal felony on January 29 of this year, Daugherty was also charged with a criminal misdemeanor on February 5th.The Christian County jail reported that Daugherty posted a cash bond on February 9, 2010.
Offender Name: TODD EUGENE DAUGHERTY
Offender ID: 22706
Date of Birth: 07/05/1968
Age: 41
Custody Status: Out of Custody
Reason: Bonded out
Date: 02/08/2010
Race: White
Gender: Male
Both of the charges against Daugherty are related to threats and harassment, which were incited and counselled by Karol F. Madera, of 3040 Tillicum Road, V9A 2B3, Saanich, British Columbia.
According to Canadian law, "One need not be the principle character carrying out a criminally offensive action in order to be guilty of the offence. In Canada, it is a criminal offence to be party to a criminal offence under the following circumstances:"
Aiding or Abetting
Know that an aid to a criminal offence is a person who knowingly assists in the commission of a crime in any way.
Know that an abettor to an offence is one who knowingly encourages another to commit a criminal act.
Counselling
Know that counselling may be charged when one advises, recommends, solicits or incites another person to be party to an offence. Under section 464 of the Criminal Code of Canada, an offence of this nature occurs when the counselling occurs regarding a crime never committed. Under section 22 of the Criminal Code of Canada, a counselling offence occurs when an actual crime is committed, and this is deemed much more serious an offence. RCMP has a file indicating that Madera has incited and counselled murder, as well harassment, making Madera potentially liable under sections 22 and 464.
Daugherty was warned that his continued association with Karol Madera would result in his arrest. That ominous prediction was proven accurate this week. Daugherty is one of a series of individuals who have been investigated by authorities as a result of conspiring with the notorious Canadian who styles himself "al Qaida Northern Command."
Madera apparently recognizes that he is well known as "the infamous embrassment from Canada" as indicated by this ridiculous DEMAND LETTER written by Madera to a web author who referred to "the infamous embarassment to Canada" after listening to Madera's distorted and defective transmission where Madera described "President Obama being buggered by a white devil" and other disgusting topics.
Regarding Madera's delusional beliefs, lies, false reports, and gross defamation, a source in Gettysburg, PA stated,
"We have had a file on this particular Canadian since 2002, and unfortunately he's not been taken seriously by their law enforcement folks, and Industry Canada has not taken action against his radio license. This is not something within our control. What is within our control, is our ability to work within our agency, and with our local, state, and federal partners, to make sure that people who break the law, or laws, in our jurisdiction, are appropriately sanctioned under our system of laws and regulations. This includes anyone working in concert with this Canadian, and anyone willingly cooperating with his illegal schemes and manipulations."
Other associates of Madera, such as: Glenn Baxter; Todd Daugherty; Brandon Duke; David Castle; Whitney Tritch; Joseph Italiano; William Shine; Mark Morgan; Joseph Goldberg; George Zardecki; David Tolassi; and Edward Oswald Jr. (to name a few) have all been under the microscope of various authorities.

Karol Madera Continues Campaign of Lies, Libel, Incitement to Murder
According to comments seen on Todd Daugherty's blog, and elsewhere: "Karol Madera returned to the air following his Christmas hiatus to Toronto, Canada. Madera has again returned to accusing his serial victims for jamming his obscene and violent transmissions. Madera has also used Todd Daugherty's blog for purposes of harassment and libel. Madera is generally viewed as a fruitcake and nutjob, not worth taking seriously. Occasionally he manages to snare a naive bystander into believing his malicious lies, but no one with a brain takes Madera seriously."
CNN Covers Amateur Radio in Haiti
K3VR submitted this report to the international media:
Fred Moore, W3ZU, with the Maritime Mobile Service Net, made contact with Jean-Robert Gaillard, HH2JR. Moore provided Gaillard with a telephone patch, via amateur radio, to Gaillard's friend Ariel in Miami, Florida.
Jean-Robert Gaillard, who lives in Port-au-Prince, was using his neighbor's generator to make the contact. "It's really chaotic." he said, "I've never been in a war, but... this is what a war zone would be like. Dead bodies all over the place, dead bodies buried. All I can tell you is that I'm okay, my house is okay. We've had 30 aftershocks, the main one yesterday. We are expecting some more shocks, so I'm a bit nervous to be inside the house.... it's a war zone." Ariel replied, "I understand. I love you and I'm here for you. Over."
[Audio Report also submitted by K3VR]
Will Glenn Baxter Send Aid to Haiti?
In an effort to clarify Baxter's history of 'emergency communications' please enjoy this reader's submission, received today:
Baxter talks about emergency communications, but it's doubtful he'll contribute in any meaningful way. Baxter's reputation has continued to spiral downward since 1981, when ARRL advertising manager, Lee Aurick, wrote to Baxter, telling him that they would no longer accept advertising for his radio repair business, following complaints that Baxter overcharged customers. Baxter is not an attorney, but he has represented himself, occasionally lodging lawsuits against others.
In 1984, Baxter claimed to be involved in passing communications for the Mexico City earthquake. Those claims have been disputed by amateur operators who were actually in the area passing traffic at the time of the disaster. They characterized Baxter as "interfering with, more than helping the relief efforts."
Baxter's Failed Lawsuits
Baxter sued the ARRL and lost. He also sued the FCC, twice, and lost, twice. Baxter has also sued several amateur operators (Vince Werber, Chuck O'Neal, Ralph Myra, Robert Prewitt, Lee Aurick, Perry Williams, Leslie Randles, and others). Generally speaking, Baxter's suits are inartfully constructed, defective, minor nuisances, similar in many ways to the lawsuits of Baxter's sometime radio co-host, Karol Madera.
In 1994, Baxter was warned by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Maine, about his habit of sending out so-called "felony affidavit notices." The Assistant U.S. Attorney, Gail Fiske-Malone, told Baxter to stop sending the notices, since they had no force of law. She warned Baxter that federal criminal charges for misrepresentation and mailing threats could be lodged against him.
Baxter responded to Gail Fiske-Malone with a rambling and unkind communication which came to the attention of FCC counsel, John P. Greenspan, who told Baxter his letter lacked maturity, and, that if Baxter continued to engage in similar conduct, his FCC license could be at risk due to character issues, and/or that Baxter could be criminally prosecuted. Baxter's felony affidavit notices are highly prized by collectors of Baxter memorabilia.
Baxter's Checkered Past
Baxter was fired by a man named Ray Bouchard, who owns and operates Light of Life Ministries in Maine. Bouchard hired Baxter to perform work at his commercial radio station. In an act of apparent retaliation, after his firing, Baxter reported Bouchard's business as a "fire trap" despite Bouchard's building plans having been approved by a Code Enforcement Officer in Maine. As a result of the code approval, Baxter also complained to the Maine P.E. Board about the Engineer who had approved Bouchard's building plans.
An ethics complaint to the Maine Professional Engineering (P.E.) Board was made about Baxter, outlining his history of threats and retaliatory behavior. As a result of that complaint, the Maine P.E. Board voted to fine and sanction Baxter $1,500, via a Board proposed consent agreement. Following a series of 3 formal P.E. Board hearings, Baxter rejected the consent decree, demanding full court proceedings.
Realizing that Baxter intended to turn the Hearing process into a circus side show, defaming everyone possible along the way, the P.E. Board cautioned Baxter that he was not to use his P.E. designation unless he was actually doing P.E. work.
The Board's letter to Baxter cautioned Baxter out of a concern that the public might be misled by his indiscriminate use of the P.E. designation. In his unfounded "fire trap" complaint, Baxter styled himself, Director of the Fire Hazard Reduction Institute. During the proceedings, a member of the P.E. Board referred to Baxter as a "peddler of smoke alarms."
Baxter's desire to perform in his own show trial was frustrated when the Board refused to participate. At the same time, Baxter was trying to convince the FCC that his "radio show" on 14.275 MHz was legal. The chances of that happening were slim and none. FCC Special Counsel, Riley Hollingsworth, had already sent Baxter numerous Warning letters outlining Baxter's alleged rules infractions. A Notice of Apparent Liability, and finally, a $21,000 Forfeiture was issued to Baxter.
Baxter's Aid to 'War Lords'
Following still more complaints about Baxter's "charity", the IRS lowered Baxter's charitable designation, reclassifying it as a 'private foundation' which significantly lowered the eventual value of the deduction available to contributors. When Madera joined Baxter on the air, bad publicity followed the pair like the Bubonic plague. Baxter was banned from posting at QRZ.com, along with Madera. The following year, Baxter's foundation didn't even generate enough income to file taxes.
By this time, almost no one was donating money or equipment to Baxter. The problems with generating donations prevented Baxter from sending any more radio equipment or materiel to 3rd world revolutionaries. IARN has a long history of providing communications equipment and repair services (via Baxter's International Amateur Radio Network, Director, Sam Voron) to 3rd world revolutionaries. Voron associated with radical leftists in Australia who were heavily invested in supporting Francis Ona's "people's revolution." In reality, after seizing by terrorist means, one of the wealthiest mineral mines in the world, and creating a civil war that killed 10-15,000 people, Francis Ona declared himself King, and was involved in financial scams throughout Australasia.
Baxter's help had been invaluable in assisting regimes which Amnesty International documented as being involved in war crimes, kidnappings, illegal executions, and atrocities against citizens. Baxter's IARN involvement with the following is a matter of public record.
Bougainville
Francis Ona's Bougainville Revolutionary Army
Somalia
The Somali Salvation Democratic Front
Bangladesh and Pakistan
Taimur Rahman's CMKP - Communist Mazdoor Kissan Party
And the Solomon Islands

Baxter's Short Affiliation With al Qaida Northern Command aka Karol Madera
By December, 2005, Karol Madera (VE7KFM) had joined Baxter on the air, calling himself Radio Canada. Madera almost immediately began advising Baxter to "take out" federal agents with a .308 sniper rifle if they appeared on his property. Madera assumed the FCC and Federal Marshals would appear to seize Baxter's radio equipment as a consequence of the FCC action against Baxter.
Baxter apparently grew weary of the bad publicity that came from associating with Karol Madera. Realizing Madera was only going to cause him more problems, Baxter wrote and published an essay called the Life of Karol, which distanced himself from Madera. Baxter exposed Madera's family ties to the Soviets and the Nazis. Several revelations were brought to light by Baxter, based on personal conversations with Madera.
Baxter Exposes Madera Family's Service to Nazis
One of the private conversations between Madera and Baxter, involved Madera's mother's sexual relations with the Soviets and Nazis, and the work performed by Madera's father, for the Soviets and the Nazis. When Baxter publicized these conversations, a falling-out occurred between Baxter and Madera.
The Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had begun to take an interest in Baxter and his friends, as early as 2002, and perhaps even earlier than that, but Madera's incitement to murder; his comments about 9/11; the Virginia Tech Massacre; the Fort Hood murders; calling himself al Qaida Northern Command; and his documented threats against the U.S. Ambassador to Canada, have all triggered renewed concern among Homeland Security agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. State Department.
Glenn Baxter wisely disassociated himself with Madera, and in 2009, Baxter again took to the air with the IARN Bulletin Service in a refreshingly non-confrontational approach, which has yielded far fewer complaints than at any time in the past.
Madera's Unhealthy Obsession
K3VR lodged a complaint against Baxter, which resulted in Baxter receiving a $21,000 Forfeiture (fine) from the FCC.
The United States Embassy in Canada, the FBI Legal Attache in Canada, and the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Protective Service, are well aware of Karol Madera's threats. In fact, Madera has been repeatedly investigated by the RCMP. Following the initial investigation, several facts were brought to light. Karol Madera's exposure as someone who was prevented from becoming a lawyer by the Law Society in British Columbia; who was thrown out of the Real Estate Board for making threats; who was accused of fraud, and generally considered a failure in his military career, was the beginning of Madera's obsession with complainants in the U.S.
Since the facts regarding Madera were made public, Madera has continually blamed others for his own shortcomings and Madera has engaged in a Quixotic quest to incite someone to murder complainants. Madera's campaign to defame others has taken place in practically every possible venue that allows for false complaints, planted evidence, identity theft, and any other kind of underhanded deception imaginable.
New Revelations About Karol Madera's Old Friends
Karol Madera's friend, Sinking Springs Council Member Ed Oswald Junior was discussed recently at Todd Daugherty's blog, as follows:
Edward D. Oswald Jr. was arrested for rioting, resisting arrest, and failure to disperse.
Monday, July 17, 2000
Police put quick end to riot
By Frank Bradley
and Fred Cichon
Staff Writers
Penn State Collegian
"The following were arrested for failure to disperse and resisting arrest: Joshua M. Feary of Annville, Brandon L. Kissell of Lock Haven and Edward D. Oswald Jr. of Philadelphia."
In addition to the information above, famous tech writer, Ed Bott, said Oswald's work lacks credibility because he is sloppy, and unethical in his presentation. Ed Bott also slammed Oswald for publishing false statements. Tom Reestman, (Salon) who's also a resident Apple expert (The Apple Blog) referred to Oswald's technical statements as "false, disingenuous, and silly." Ironically, after Ed Oswald was fired from his job at Beta News, he went into politics... as a 'law and order' candidate!
Karol Madera, VE7KFM -- Disgraced Failure, and Fraud
Karol Madera, VE7KFM has sent dozens of unsubstantiated, false complaints to the FCC. As we have reported, on numerous occasions, Madera is a notorious and self-described liar.
As expected, 2009 witnessed the dismissal of Madera's numerous defective complaints, as well as all of the complaints Madera sponsored through the auspices of his mentally ill friends and criminal supporters. Note: There is well documented evidence of serious mental illness and criminality among Madera and his associates.
We are confident in our description of Karol Madera, VE7KFM as a liar, a fraud, and a failure. In one of many examples of fraud, as heard in the previous link, Madera stated that he "awarded himself several ranks" while in the military.
Karol Madera lied to a Senior Officer about his rank, and he fraudulently obtained benefits above and beyond his rank, while serving in the uniform of a Canadian officer. Madera's admission constitutes a serious fraud in every military service in the world, and Madera brought dishonor to the Canadian Forces when he perpetrated that fraud.
Madera has refused to divulge the details of his untimely separation from the Canadian Forces, but in addition to lying about his rank, he has distributed several different versions of his so-called career to several different people. According to those who have listened to Madera for half a decade, he was trained as a weapons officer, a carrier pilot, a signals specialist, a librarian, an intelligence officer, a signals officer, an Aide de Camp for two different Generals who cannot be located, and etc. You get the picture.
To answer a reader query: We don't know if Madera's broken neck, reportedly the result of tumbling down an open hatch, head first, while intoxicated, on the way back from a junior crew member's quarters, had anything to do with his current or past problems, but we are confident of the following:
Karol Madera, VE7KFM -- Just the Facts
Madera failed in his attempt to become a lawyer in British Columbia.
Madera failed in his appeal related to becoming a lawyer in British Columbia.
Madera failed in his bid to have his fraudulent complaints acted on by the FCC and the FBI.

You can read more about Karol Madera, VE7KFM on our page devoted strictly to his lunacy.
Highlights of Madera's Madness
Devoted readers may recall that Karol Madera is well known for calling on al Qaida to murder Americans with roadside bombs.
Karol Madera is also known for his violent rhetoric, his racist rhetoric, and his cheer leading for al Qaida.
In fact, Madera has frequently called on al Qaida to murder and maim American citizens.
Former FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth, currently American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Atlantic Division Assistant Director,stated the following at the 2007 Dayton Hamvention:"There is a very poor operator in Canada. Canada considers him a fruitcake and they're not taking him seriously... It's an international problem and it's not our jurisdiction. We're talking to Canada, we're working with them, but they consider the fellow to be several French Fries short of a Happy Meal and they're not going to put a lot of resources in it, apparently. Use the big knob, go somewhere else... the world is ugly enough. We can't regulate stupid!"
The Center for Media Studies has always maintained that the best policy is not to engage Karol Madera or his cohorts at all, and we don't endorse jamming anyone's radio signals. A legitimate and perfectly legal alternative is to simply ignore Karol Madera, VE7KFM, and to simply talk over and ignore his transmissions whenever he begins to illegally interfere with radio signals. To date, U.S. and Canadian officials have never cited anyone for ignoring Karol Madera.
