Joe Italiano (N9PH) and Whitney Tritch (N3ZV) Criticized as Drama Queens on QRZ

Joe Italiano posted a dramatic tale of a young amateur "brutally jammed" by a Michigan operator on 14.275 MHz recently. Whitney Tritch chimed in with vague instructions about contacting FCC Enforcement. Italiano failed to provide facts, call signs, documents, recordings, or any other evidence, and the young amateur "complainant" was not present for the discussion.

Most forum participants, knowing Italiano and Tritch's history of being banned from the forum, and their ongoing affiliation with Karol Madera, and their facilitation of various fraudulent acts, regarded the overly dramatic tale with skepticism and/or outright ridicule.

Finally, the Head Moderator addressed Italiano (N9PH), bringing a breath of fresh air and sanity to the discussion. Neither Tritch nor Italiano mentioned their mentor, Karol Madera's words to a 12 year old amateur just one year ago. Madera told the lad, "I hope al Qaida cuts your nuts off before your first queer fuck."The word 'hypocrite' does not adequately describe Karol Madera and his nefarious cohorts.

Madera Fails to Deliver on Canada Day

Karol Madera promised, but failed to deliver an on air treatise about Laura Smith on Canada Day this year. Apparently Madera is incensed by what he calls Smith's failure to discipline his serial targets on 14.275 MHz.

Earlier in 2009, Madera gloated that he was in love with Laura Smith, at the FCC, and that he had developed a close working relationship with her. Madera promised over and over that "Laura would take action" against his vocal critics on 14.275. However, it was not to be. After a thorough investigation of 6 months duration, Smith found that Madera's complaints were bogus, fruitless, misdirected, and without merit.

Although Madera's aides de camp, Joe Italiano (N9PH); Whitney Tritch (N3ZV); Ed Oswald Jr. (W3DUB); Mark Morgan (KB9RQZ); Todd Daugherty (N9OGL); David Tolassi (WA1BHV); and others, conspired to place Madera's bogus complaints in front of Mrs. Smith, upon review, none of those complaints merited disciplinary action by the FCC. Now, a furious Karol Madera has changed his tune, saying, "Tell Laura she can suck my cock!"

This kind of disgusting diatribe is what the world has come to expect from Karol Florian Madera, of Saanich, BC, Canada, who is neither an officer, nor a gentleman. Dedicated readers may recall that Madera's bid to become a lawyer in Canada was rejected by the BC Law Society, and that the Victoria Real Estate Board called the police regarding Madera's threats, long before Madera became a nuisance operator on 14.275 MHz.

Unfortunately, Madera has, apparently returned to his old habits, repeatedly jamming others with the help of his close friend David Tolassi (WA1BHV) of Barre, Vermont, according to allegations beofre the FCC.

Speaking of David Tolassi, we have received word that numerous complaints have been sent to the FCC about Madera and Tolassi's alleged jamming throughout June of 2009. Even more interesting, the FCC apparently has a renewed interest in Tolassi's alleged murder threats against two amateurs. Those threats were first reported on Jon Cunningham's As the World Turns blog, ham radio's only R-rated daily newsletter.

We would be remiss if we failed to mention Jim Laursen, of Industry Canada, who has reportedly accepted many complaints about Karol Madera from Mrs. Smith, and passed on those complaints to Karol Madera, receiving an earful of malicious invective in return. Even though Jim has been roundly criticized for his failure to reign in the fruity menace of Tillicum road, we hope his relationship with Mrs. Smith is a mark of good things to come.

Suggestion for Jim: Find some legal way to remove Madera's license to transmit, and retire with pride, and with the thanks of Canadian and American radio amateurs everywhere.

Karol Madera: "Laura Smith Can Suck My Cock!"

As disgusting as it sounds, Karol Madera, VE7KFM, of 3040 Tillicum Road, Saanich, BC, V9A 2B3, repeated this phrase over and over as he ranted about FCC Agent Laura Smith's lack of attention to his multiple (delusional) emails attacking American amateur operators.

Madera also says he has pictures of Industry Canada's Jim Laursen in the bath house. Madera is apparently furious that the FCC and Industry Canada are united in ignoring the lies and libel he routinely peddles at 14.275 MHz Madera is currently ratcheting up his anger at Laura Smith and Jim Laursen.

Madera says Laura Smith has until July 1 to take action against those he routinely victimizes, "or else." We hope Madera does not resort to his usual tactics -- influencing the mentally unbalanced to brandish weapons and threats against Mrs. Smith. However, we will not be surprised if this is the case.

"CANADIAN TOWN VOTES AGAINST HAM RADIO ANTENNA BUT STILL CAN'T GET RID OF THE GOOF ON 14275"

That was the headline at Jon Cunningham's 'As the World Turns' newsletter today.

Cunningham is referring to an article written by Richard Watts (rwatts@tc.canwest.com) that appeared in the Victoria Times Colonist on May 29, 2009, which was picked up by the amateur radio community. Cunningham is running Amateur Radio Newsline's version of the story today.

Watts writes, "Ken Jones, the man who wants to build the tower, said he is trying to rebuild a tower used by his father until about 1984. Jones is a volunteer with the Saanich Emergency Program, an organization dedicated to maintaining communications during a catastrophic event like an earthquake."

Richard Watts reported Saanich councillors voted to oppose the ham-radio tower in Saanich, British Columbia (Karol Madera's town) because residents opposed the tower.

Watts quoted Jone's neighbor, Dorothy Cook, "It is ugly. It is too big. It is an industrial structure and I don't want it next to my backyard." Jim Laursen of Industry Canada was also quoted by Mr. Watts, "It is something that people are going to have to put up with coast to coast," said Laursen.

While we support the right of amateurs to erect towers, Laursen has taken the same stance regarding Karol Madera's death threats, slander, obscenities, and generally disgusting behavior at 14.275 MHz, and we wonder if Saanich councillors and neighbors are, perhaps, fearful that the proposed tower will be misused, as many believe the tower at 3040 Tillicum Road, in Saanich, is currently misused.

It is a fact that Madera's neighbors, including parishioners at the Jehova's Witness Temple across the street from Madera, have reported interference problems from Madera's tower, which appears, based on aerial photos, to be precariously perched above his neighbors property.

We hope Mr. Jones will have his tower approved, and at the same time, we hope Industry Canada, building inspectors, and Saanich councillors, will take a long look at Karol Madera's tower. You can reach the Saanich Council at this address.

FCC Resumes Publication of Enforcement Letters

Notably absent were FCC letters to operators on 14.275 MHz Contrary to Karol Madera's predictions and statements, the FCC has apparently been able to definitively prove that Karol Madera is a liar. None of the station owners Madera has blamed for jamming over a period of 4+ years were among the recipients of FCC Warning Letters. Among many ridiculous assertions, the most ridiculous was Madera's claim that a remote base in New Mexico was being used to jam his transmissions.

For approximately the past six months, Madera has been heard praising FCC Special Counsel for amateur radio, Laura Smith. However, following publication of the latest enforcement letters, Madera was at a loss for words as he noted that none of his usual victim's names were on the list of recipients of FCC enforcement letters.

Madera's delusional honeymoon with Laura Smith is now apparently over. On the weekend of the Dayton Hamvention, a seemingly intoxicated Karol Madera reported that Industry Canada was putting pressure on him to tone down his abusive rhetoric, and his presumed monopoly of 14.275 MHz

Madera appeared to be flustered and furious, at both the FCC and Industry Canada, and he had many choice (unprintable) words for Industry Canada's Jim Laursen.

In keeping with his ungentlemanly disposition, Madera also began calling Hamvention attendees, asking them to track down the "Reubenesque Laura Smith" because he was interested in knowing her bra size. Madera's insulting innuendo aside, Madera said that unless he receives assurances within the next few days that Laura Smith intends to follow his (fraudulent) agenda, he intends to begin work on the next body of work at his (defamatory) webpage, entitled, 'The Life of Laura.'

Reader Asks: Are Janet Jackson's Breasts More Important Than Murder Threats?

The two year anniversary of death threats, allegedly made by Vermont resident David J. Tolassi has come and gone. According to an affidavit filed by a federal agent, Tolassi made murder threats similar to those made by Todd Daugherty recently. The difference is, Tolassi apparently made his threats over public airwaves, using his FCC license.

Like Mark Morgan, Ed 'Junior' Oswald, and Whitney Tritch, David Tolassi has ties to Karol Madera, of Saanich, British Columbia. It has been two years since David J. Tolassi was reported as having made death threats against two individuals, one of whom was a federal agent. We hope the FCC plans to take serious action against Tolassi, but we're not overly optimistic -- for obvious reasons...

Todd Daugherty's murder-for-hire scheme

Speaking of murder threats, an individual posting under Todd E. Daugherty's name has posted a solicitation to participate in a murder-for-hire conspiracy here, here, and here. The FBI and Police in Illinois have been contacted. If charged, upon conviction, Daugherty could receive up to 5 years imprisonment for each count of murder solicitiation published.

We were also notified that Todd Daugherty has a new blog, apparently dedicated to Todd by his faithful fans. Google Reports Todd Daugherty's older blog located at blogspot.com has been removed, due to TOS violations.

Karol Florian Madera -- Still Delusional; Still a Liar

A Chief of Psychiatry at a large teaching hospital analyzed Karol Madera's speech, writing, and court cases. This highly trained medical doctor concluded, based on a significant body of written and tape recorded evidence, that Madera is often delusional (out of touch with reality) and threatening. The psychiatrist also found that Madera presented with extremely narcissistic, sado-masochistic, homosexual themes, including themes of extreme violence.

See our Audio Repository for a few examples.

The Chief of Psychiatry who analyzed Madera's writings and recordings, stated his opinion unequivocally. He told us that Karol Madera appears to be an extremely mentally unbalanced individual, who is probably suffering from one or more serious mental illnesses. The psychiatrist was also of the opinion that Madera is also suffering from a concurrent substance abuse, and/or substance dependence problem.

This psychiatric analysis included a thorough review of published recordings, email, a large body of written evidence, including first person accounts of Madera's acquaintances, and previously adjudicated court cases, and witness interviews, involving Karol Madera.

The Ivy League educated psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and teacher, who spoke with us on condition of anonymity, indicated that he had a high degree of confidence in his professional medical opinion, regarding Karol Madera.

The analysis included a caution to anyone coming into contact with Karol Madera: "The major concern(s) involve stalking, harassment, defamation, false statements, and false complaints." The most insightful concern involved predictions like the following: "Madera may lie in order to generate false complaints, and to influence others to make false complaints to authorities. His motivation would likely be harassment of individuals making complaints against him." According to reader/listener reports, these predictions have already come to pass.

The psychiatric analysis and opinion above is not to be confused with the opinion of former FCC Special Counsel, Riley Hollingsworth, who simply referred to Madera as A FRUITCAKE.

Sometimes the simplest descriptions are best.

Whitney Tritch and Mark Morgan: More Evidence of Serious Mental Illness Surfaces

Speaking of unfounded complaints by delusional individuals, Whitney Tritch, N3ZV, recently made a complaint to Laura Smith at the FCC. Tritch alleged failure to ID, against one of the individuals Tritch and Madera repeatedly defame. Tritch included recordings in his complaint. A brief review of Tritch's recordings indicated no failure to ID, and no basis whatsoever for the false complaint Tritch filed with Laura Smith.

The amateur radio community (and law enforcement) have been familiar with Whitney V. Tritch ever since Tritch admitted to a federal crime, after Tritch was apprehended illegally breaking into the qrz.com computer system, using an ill and elderly licensee's call sign to post defamation, identical to the defamation routinely sponsored and distributed by Karol Madera.

In 2008, an account of Tritch's so-called "military exploits" was published by Dan Jeswald. This account was created and sent by Tritch to Jeswald. Tritch's account indicated a serious problem with pathological lying. Tritch's fabricated account of his military heroics was entirely false and fraudulent, like virtually all of the items Tritch has published on the Internet, or shared with the FCC, over the past several years.

Mark Morgan -- Public Records Reveal...

Unsurprisingly, public records also indicate Mark Morgan and his wife (KD8CTL) may also have serious mental problems. Law enforcement officials were advised to "use caution with them." According to public records, Morgan and his wife made various unfounded complaints about their neighbor, prompting visits by local law enforcement, who called their complaints "unfounded."

This situation is reminiscent of Morgan's many false complaints about various amateur radio licensees, including such bizarre allegations as "shower rape"; "child pandering"; "harmful interference", and; "tower vandalism." Like Tritch and Madera, Morgan also lied about his military past, telling others he was a "Colonel in the Chemical Corps." This is another tall tale in a serious of fabrications made by Madera and his delusional compatriots.

Mark Morgan -- Still Marketing Uncertificated Transmitters

Users of a popular website have reported that "Mark Morgan is still marketing uncertificated transceivers." According to our research, the ARRL has reported on this issue frequently in the past.

Simply put, according to a 2000 revision of FCC rule section 2.1204(a)(5), it is illegal to sell or market transceivers which can be easily altered for use as Citizens Band devices.

The FCC says devices such as this fall within the definition of CB transmitters and therefore "cannot legally be imported or marketed in the United States."

A quick check of Morgan's website reveals that some of the radios he appears to be marketing, are on the "forbidden list." According to the website, "at least one complaint has been sent to FCC alleging Morgan is marketing illegal radios in his Amazon.com storefront."

A review of citations in similar cases indicates the FCC has determined that "violations of the Act or the Rules can result in substantial monetary forfeitures, and/or imprisonment, and any illegal equipment is subject to in rem seizure."

The individual reporting Morgan's alleged illegalities wrote, "Mark Morgan has been informed of the situation, but he's failed to take action, and he continues to market the devices, in apparent violation of the rules. This seems to be another situation where Mark Morgan thinks he's above the law."

Morgan's marketing activities were reported to the FCC on February 18th, 2009. Morgan reports continuous contact with FCC Special Counsel, Laura Smith, however, to date, there has been no FCC action reported regarding illegal marketing and sales of uncertificated radios, and Morgan's website remains unchanged.

Mark Morgan's alleged ID theft

Meanwhile, our sources indicate that Mark Morgan was reported to law enforcement recently for identity theft, stalking, harassment by communication, and false swearing. It is unknown at this time whether or not law enforcement officials in as many as 7 different states wish to spend money extraditing Morgan for these alleged crimes. We will keep you posted.

Karol Madera's Unsubstantiated Complaints

Karol Madera has reportedly sent dozens of unsubstantiated complaints to the FCC. Madera is a notorious and self-described liar, therefore, we expect to see the dismissal of his numerous defective complaints. Madera has stated that he "awarded himself several ranks" while in the military. He lied to a Senior Officer, and he fraudulently obtained benefits beyond his rank.

Madera has refused to divulge the details of his untimely separation from the Canadian armed forces, but in addition to lying about his rank, he has distributed several different versions of his career, to several different people.

Interested readers may recall that Madera is well known for calling on al Qaida to murder Americans with roadside bombs. Karol Madera is also known for his violence, his racist rhetoric, and his cheer leading for al Qaida. Madera has frequently called on al Qaida to murder and maim Americans.
