About Karol Florian Madera, VE7KFM & Co.
Karol Madera Hosts Lies and Fraudulent Quotes
Below are just two examples of the hundreds (thousands?) of lies posted by Karol Madera on his poorly designed and little read website. To the naive and the uninitiated, they appear to be verifiable quotes. However, to those in the know, they represent the typical lies propagated all over the Internet by Karol Florian Madera, VE7KFM. The fellow Madera quotes below (posting as Eric) is not Eric at all. In reality, he is a friend of Madera's, another in a series of loathsome identity thieves, employed by Madera to post lies at qrz.com, so that Karol Madera may harvest the lies in real time in order to post them on his website. See the following fraudulent quotes, as hosted by Karol Madera, VE7KFM.
"VE7KFM MUST be a very popular fella. Just tune by 14.275 and listen! You'll hear hams constantly calling him..." Eric VE2ZIB in “VE7KFM makes terroristic threats to america” on QRZ.com 6 Aug ‘08
"Speaking of “temporally” banned, we haven't heard from him lately? Is he Okay...????"
Eric VE2ZIB replying to Tom N1FM’s post in “VE7KFM makes terroristic threats to america” on QRZ.com 7 Aug ‘08
As noted above, Eric's callsign was stolen by an identity thief, and fraudulent statements were posted by the thief (thought to be the notorious Joseph J Italiano) for the benefit of Karol Madera's identity theft/ disinformation campaign. This is a campaign (designed by Madera) that attempts to duplicate the one designed by Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels in 1933.

Mark Morgan Ejected from CCRAA
Earlier this evening, Karol Madera's good friend Mark Morgan, KB9RQZ was ejected from his position as President of Copper Country Radio Amateur Association, Inc. Morgan's partner, Gavrielah Hojnacki resigned her position. It is alleged that Morgan previously made false reports of child molestation and pandering last November, at Karol Madera's instigation, as well as engaging in other unsavory activites which rendered Morgan unfit to retain leadership of that club. Club members are to be congratulated for taking quick action to remedy a situation that could have caused their club to come into disrepute in the larger amateur community. New club officers can be reached at this address.
August 2, 2008 (UPDATE)
The 14275 thread that caused a commotion at qrz.com was begun by a friend of Karol Madera's (widely suspected to be N9PH, Joe Italiano) who stole the callsign KE5OBA to begin the libelous thread. The same person then stole the identity of KB2SQP and DL4IR. All of those users have been locked and banned. As Brian Crow, K3VR, pointed out, the thread began under fraudulent pretenses, and was supported under fraudulent pretenses. The only genuine callsigns supporting Karol Madera's viewpoints were those held by two amateurs who voluntarily joined Madera's Yahoo defamation group.
Those amateurs are K3TP and W3DUB. Again, the fraud who began the thread after stealing the identity of KE5OBA, also stole the identities of KB2SQP, and DL4IR. That user and identity thief is now banned and the remarks posted under those callsigns should be considered libelous and fraudulent, having come circuitously from the keyboard of Karol Madera. Thank you, and have a nice day.
Karol Madera, VE7KFM has been banned from yet another radio forum. Radio Reference is the latest website to ban Karol Madera. However, in typical criminal fashion, Madera signed up as CDN (Canadian) at radio reference.com, where Madera continues to post supportive comments about Karol Madera (himself) while posing as someone else. This is the typical criminal behavior of Karol Madera, and his friends, as we have so often written. Hopefully, someone will inform the management of their error and they will ban CDN as well. Only a deluded half-handful still cling to the notion that this terrorist sympathizer and hate-monger has a right to be heard on the air, or seen on the Internet.

Karol Madera says al Qaeda will get aid and comfort from his radio station when propagation improves
Karol Madera regularly praises al Qaeda and he regularly calls on those terrorists to murder and/or torture people who have made complaints about his radio transmissions and libelous webpage. When not calling on al Qaeda to murder Americans, Madera enjoys molesting 13 yr old boys. Listen as Madera brags about telling a young boy "I hope al Qaeda cuts your bag off before you fuck your first queer."
No More Politics or Religion at QRZ.com
Fred Lloyd says "enough is enough," declaring religion and politics off-limits topics. Fred is also apparently none too pleased at the tone of the personal attacks in the latest 14275 thread. A callsign hijacker began the thread, and soon, K3TP, W3DUB, and (a person posting as) KB2SQP, began making nasty, libelous, and false remarks about various other amateurs.
The person who began the thread by echoing Karol Madera's lies, was immediately labeled a "troll," a "callsign hijacker" and an "impostor" but the thread was allowed to continue for another 30 pages. The person posting as KB2SQP called another man "stupid" and "retarded" and went on to call him an "illegal jammer" and a "qrmer." He never answered the pointed question: "Why is an American, and presumably a US citizen, defending someone who calls on our enemies to kill Americans?"
K3DUB, Junior Oswald, took on the role of chief inquisitor and censor, writing, "Personally, i think it is past time for anyone who regularly talks on 275 to be banned from QRZ altogether." Junior also had this to say about N8GAV: "Your a damn liar and you know it." People generally ignore Junior as he is a frequent source of misinformation and generally chock full of illogical and false pronouncements.
K3TP was generally quite reasonable and he wisely did not point the finger at particular individuals, nor did he endlessly parrot VE7KFM's views, unlike the person posting as KB2SQP, and W3DUB, who was labeled "Howdy Doody" due to his unfortunate resemblance to that cartoon character. Junior was also labeled a "hypocrite," a "liar," and a "terrorist supporter," by many in the thread.
Madera's trio of supporters were linguistically pummelled and reduced to virtual tears by the factual assaults of their superiors in logic and argument. In 31 pages and 8,000 page views (and counting) Madera only managed to generate support from 3 persons, two of whom were formerly part of Madera's (defunct) Yahoo defamation group.
Overall, we agree with Fed Lloyd of qrz.com and we believe the personal attacks and the lame and hare-brained defense of a known terrorist supporter, parroted by a paltry few, should come to a halt. As for politics and religion, there are plenty of other political and religious forums available.
Karol Madera's On-Air Homosexual Solicitations Bad for Amateur Radio's Image?
The majority of VE7KFM.COM readers report that they believe Karol' Madera's homosexual solicitations are dangerous to Amateur Radio's reputation as a wholesome hobby. Madera frequently invites other men and boys to engage in oral sex with him. "Do you want to suck my cock?" is an expression Madera has used up to 100x in a single evening. Madera's other expressions, some of them indicating he may be an active pedophile, are nearly as bad. Madera has been recording saying, "Do you have a daughter with big tits? I'd like to meet her if she's 14." Finally, Madera's threats give rise to many complaints from 14.275 listeners. See the audio section (in the title bar) for more recordings of Karol Madera, VE7KFM.
Madera Advocates a 9mm Bullet For Another Amateur
Listeners were outraged by Karol Madera's latest threatening bluster last night as he told a decorated Viet Nam War Veteran, 'the only thing that will fix you is a 9mm bullet to the head.'
In a 30+ page topic at the world's most popular amateur radio website, where Madera is banned from posting, Karol Madera's peers weighed in with their own opinions regarding Madera, describing him thusly:
"terrorist; moron; fool; USA hater; coward; Al Queda Lover; hate filled; Canada's Ambassador of ill Will and Ill-logic; Hiding in his home and behind a microphone; 'crazy'; He's hidden in his radio room afraid to venture outdoors for fear someone will say 'boo' to him; He's just a nut; They know he's crazy; KKKarol is a big KKKoward; sooner or later, someone is going to give him a Football punt in the family Jewels!; Shame on you Mr. Madera; Unfortunately, one can't apply reasoning in debate with a fool, like KFM"
US NAVY veteran Gary L. Jackson shared his opinion on Karol Madera, VE7KFM:
"I had asked who this guy was before in another thread. After listening to the audio etc in You Tube, [ here and here ] NOW I KNOW.
You mean the Canadian government sits by and allows this, in my opinion, lunatic, USA hater, al Qaeda Lover, to continue using the airwaves to broadcast his hate for Americans?
And the US government doesn't request from Canada for anything to be done? Seems to me he also poses a threat to Canadians also, or will, at the drop of a hat. He couldn't be more hate filled if he was one of the radical Islamic terrorists himself.
Maybe he's Canada's Ambassador of ill Will and Ill-logic. If the Canadian government allows him to broadcast in this 'terroristic fashion', it would appear they agree to some degree with this guy. He is not the average 'big mouth', since he's been doing this for years.
I am sure some group in both governments have done their homework with this person, and deemed him nothing more than a nuisance. It still doesn't make sense why Canada would still allow him a license to broadcast.
Many people who carry on like this pretending they are "macho soldiers of fortune" would CRY like a BABY when put into full combat gear and dropped into an active war zone where death is a bullet and a second away. I think VE7KFM in my opinion is one of these types. Hiding in his home and behind a microphone, I wonder if he has any friends up there? Oh well, at least now I know what this 'crazy' is all about...."

Karol Madera, Terroristic Threats
VE7KFM Makes Terroristic Threats on the Air" and this YouTube Video entitled, Karol Madera, Canadian Terrorist? are topics online in the world's most popular amateur radio forum today. Karol Madera remains very unpopular by all accounts, and many are openly calling Madera a terrorist (and worse) due to his numerous (recorded) statements advocating murder and calling on al Qaeda to murder innocent American citizens.
Gunny Bob -- "He is a fraud, I promise you!"
The popular top-rated Denver talk show host and military advisor, Robert Newman, recently reviewed the fake 'military credentials' supplied by Karol Madera's good friend Whitney Tritch, N3ZV, and promptly pronounced Whitney a fraud. Newman took one look at Tritch's phony history and after reviewing the facts, another wannabe hero and friend of the Canadian fraud, Karol Madera, has been exposed as a liar, thief, and a fraud. You can check out Gunny Bob's radio show here.
S.O.S -- A Ship In Distress!!
No, it's just Karol Madera up to his childish, attention seeking tricks again. We received an email from a Canadian amateur recently, reporting that Karol Madera, VE7KFM, was transmitting false and deceptive distress signals on 14.275 mHZ. We checked out the report and it's true. The signal consists of two alternating tones at 1300 and 2200 HZ. This sequence comprises an internationally recognized maritime distress signal. In most countries, sending a false distress signal is punishable by fines and imprisonment. In Saanich, BC, it is a regular occurence. We'll let you know if Jim Laursen of Industry Canada takes note of this latest infraction of international law. P.S. -- Don't hold your breath.
July 19, 2008 -- David Tolassi, WA1BHV (More Lunacy on 14.275)
We hesitate to report this, but since we have a recording and numerous witnesses, we thought you should know. David J. Tolassi, WA1BHV, husband of Jane, a teacher at U-32 in Montpelier, VT, was heard this afternoon soliciting gentleman callers. Tolassi's proposal involved men with credit cards who would be orally serviced by his wife Jane. We're not sure if this illegal in Vermont, or not. However, Tolassi was heard asking for credit cards and Tolassi told listeners they'd receive a good "oral oral." Tolassi then urged them to call the number. This statement followed a recorded solicitation giving out the Tolassi's published home phone number, matching the listing at the following white pages link:
{http://www.whitepages.com/search/FindPerson?firstname=David&name=Tolassi&state_id=VT}
David J. Tolassi has a reputation for bizarre and illegal antics on amateur radio. He threatened to shoot FCC Enforcement Bureau offical Riley Hollingsworth in the head last year. We have left a message for U-32 administrators about the Tolassi's indecent proposal and we will have the Superintendent's comment as soon as he returns our email.
July 17, 2008
Is this Todd E. Daugherty in the nude, streaking past Wal-Mart in Taylorville, IL, while swilling Budweiser, or just a Todd look-a-like with a decidedly more manly body? We don't know for sure, but the picture's causing quite a ruckus at a popular ham radio website. When we have the answer, you'll be the first to know!
July 8, 2008 -- Mark C. Morgan (Another Tall Tale!)
Mark Christopher Morgan, KB9RQZ, reports he has shot and wounded a 16 year old boy who was attempting to pull his antenna structure over with an all terrain vehicle. Morgan reports he got off several rounds with a shotgun as the boy was leaving the scene. Morgan reports that police found a blood trail leading away from his residence. Calls to Chassell, Houghton, and Michigan State police revealed there no reports of a shooting, no blood trail, and no reports of vandalism at Morgan's address: 17366 River Rd. Chassell, MI 49916.
Hospitals in Mark Morgan's area treated no gunshot wounds on or near the date of Morgan's report. Apparently this is just another lie in a series of lies perpetrated by Mark C. Morgan, KB9RQZ, who (at Karol Madera's urging) last year, made false reports of child abuse to child protection authorities in at least 3 states. Curiously, Morgan's latest false report follows closely on the heels of a rumor of another attempt at antenna sabotage suffered by Morgan's friend, ally, and close companion, Karol Madera, VE7KFM. When we have more details on either incident, you'll be the first to know!
July 2, 2008 -- Karol Madera Converses With Illegal Station For Over 90 Minutes
Karol F. Madera, VE7KFM asked an illegal station to continue to transmit illegally in order to aid him in disrupting 14.275 MHZ. Madera spoke with the Pirate for over 90 minutes, despite the fact that Madera acknowledged that the Pirate failed to identify his station. Madera, using a CB type roger beep device, said Industry Canada does as he commands and that it is unlikely they will discipline him for abusing his amateur radio privileges. Madera asked the Pirate to take "American Fucktards" to task. This is highly reminiscent of Madera's past trysts with illegal pirates, Joe Goldberg, Brandon Duke, and many others...
Todd Daugherty - Threats and Mental Illness Prominently Displayed
Todd Daugherty's offensive and threatening blog is still offline, thanks to your cards and letters. However, Daugherty has lately taken to posting death threats on other people's blogs, including posting disturbing images of women and children [use caution when viewing] being dismembered and tortured. Daugherty claims these images represent what he plans to do to the families of Riley Hollingsworth, Brian Crow, and others who have reported Daugherty's demented threats, wi-fi theft, and other illegal activities to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Taylorville, Illinois police department, and others.
Riley Hollingsworth Departs
On Thursday, July 3, Special Counsel for the Spectrum Enforcement Division of the FCC's Enforcement Bureau Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH -- the man who has come to embody Amateur Radio Enforcement - will say goodbye to the FCC as he retires and begins his life as a private citizen. In May, Hollingsworth announced he would definitely retire; he had contemplated retiring in January 2008, but cited "several issues on the table that I want[ed] to continue to work through with the amateur community." While his successor has not yet been named, he was quick to point out that the FCC's Amateur Radio enforcement program will continue.
Karol Madera Returns
After a quiet and peaceful absence of nearly three weeks, Karol Madera has returned to 14.275 MHz. A persistent rumor had Madera off the air because someone vandalized his antenna system. During Madera's absence there were no episodes of jamming, threats, foul language, racism, music playing, or any of the usual violations that accompany his hours long anti-American rants in support of al Qaeda. Madera often calls on al Qaeda for the murder of Americans here and abroad.
Amusingly, Madera has taken credit for the planned retirement of Riley Hollingsworth who leaves his position at the FCC today (July 3, 2008). Madera's delusional beliefs have been received with the usual mix of derision and wonderment - chiefly, his idiocy amuses us and we wonder if he has run out of his anti-psychotic medication. Many simply state the obvious. "Karol Madera's a liar, not a lawyer."
Speaking of Lies and Delusions...
Mark C. Morgan (KB9RQZ) of Chassell, Michigan still maintains his false and malicious reports to child abuse authorities were somehow justifiable, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that his reports were motivated by malice and supported by blatant falsehoods. Morgan is currently the President of the CCRAA amateur radio organization. His actions have caused rifts in that club and there have been frank discussions regarding his removal as President because he has brought disgrace upon that radio fraternity.
Whitney V. Tritch (N3ZV) who came to our attention following his illegal computer intrusion, callsign hijacking, and banning from Amateur Radio's most popular website last year, has written a highly delusional note to Dan Jeswald (W4NTI).
Tritch told Jeswald he had 32.5 kills as a 'soldier' and 2 kills as a civilian and that he has saved countless lives.... Tritch also said he jumped out of various aircraft 167 times in support of his military service. None of this has any bearing on the truth. It's no suprise to us to learn that Whitney Tritch served briefly as a Navy E-5. His classification was 'Electronics Technician' (ET) and his job classification was 'submarine interior communications electrician' (14IC). Although theoretically attached to the recently scrapped GW Carver, Tritch is not listed as a member of either the Blue or Gold crew, giving rise to speculation that his true classification is "section 8." Jeswald and several others who served honorably in combat positions in Viet Nam derided Tritch as a fraud and a liar, the latest in a long list of friends of Karol Florian Madera exposed as such.
Thankfully, due to your vigilance, Mark Morgan has not falsely and maliciously reported anyone for child abuse in the last 72 hours. We hope you have a safe and pleasant Independence Day.
More -- Todd Daugherty (N9OGL) Caught In Yet Another Insane Rant!
Todd Daugherty, N9OGL, a man Karol Madera calls "my good friend Todd" was banned from several popular radio related websites this month. Daugherty also had his blog unceremoniously ripped from the Internet by Google, the owner of blogger.com. Unfortunately, Daugherty has taken to trashing yet another radio forum with obscene cartoon images of children being raped by adults. The FCC recently issued two Warning notices to Daugherty, and Daugherty reported in his now defunct blog that he was visited by FBI agents who examined his computer's hard drive for evidence of child pornography -- possibly sent to him via servers in Canada. Today, 'Free Speech Advocate' Daugherty published a hit list of websites he thinks ought "to be blown up", writing, "DEATH TO THEM ALL" and "THEY WILL FEEL MY WRATH!"
Canadian Amateurs Fighting Mad!
A group of Canadian radio operators say they are sick and tired of Industry Canada looking the other way while their radio spectrum is being trashed by rule-breakers. They say they're prepared to start a fight in the Canadian courts in order to FORCE Industry Canada's Spectrum Division to do their job under Canadian law. In conjunction with that pending law suit is a possible "First Shot Across the Bow" where the leader of the group asked for information about complaints regarding VE7KFM.
IND2007000253 Industry Canada Public 1/4/2008 00:00:00 All correspondence, electronic and in writing to and from the Vancouver Island District office and other IC offices or other agencies regarding complaints about and/or enforcement actions made or contemplated with respect to Amateur radio station VE7KFM and its operator Karol F. Madera for the period 1 Jan 2004 to present (January 4, 2008). This should include correspondence to and from the local enforcement officer, Mr. Jim Laursen. Additionally I would like copies of any exemptions and/or special conditions granted to Karol Madera to operate his station not in accordance with the Radio Communications Act and its associated rules and regulations.
http://www.onlinedemocracy.ca/cairs/jan08CAIR.txt
The group's spokesman, in a private communication with ve7kfm.com says they will fight Industry Canada's apparent legacy of laziness and lethargy by launching a lawsuit against that agency and against Jim Laursen, in Victoria, BC's local office, personally. We will have more information after the group makes a formal announcement regarding the lawsuit...
Please enjoy these humourous excerpts of Riley Hollingsworth's recent discussions regarding US Amateur enforcement, Canadian 'enforcement' and references to Karol Madera and his idiot followers...
Developments in the Bill Crowell, W6WBJ Case
The FCC has moved for an Order compelling Crowell to produce documents which the Bureau says he has witheld from production. The FCC said "Crowell's Response raised numerous, meritless, vague, and overbroad objections, which should be rejected outright." Furthermore, the Commission said Crowell's responses were "deficient" and they said "he should be ordered to respond more fully and completely."
Important Information for US Amateurs
As a result of the Bill Crowell (W6WBJ) case, the Commission appears to be poised to press for a much broader interpretation of their character policy, signaling the court that they no longer intend to be bound by narrow definitions of character. Instead, it appears the FCC intends to pursue a course where a definition of 'insufficient character' will not be constrained merely to those with convictions for crimes of moral turpitude and other felonies, but that character should be considered in its broader societal context, including conduct both on and off the air, including conduct on the internet.
A large measure of the FCC's Hearing Designation Order regarding Crowell will focus on his character. The FCC called Judge Steinberg's attention to court precedents discussing character. The FCC wrote, "a person's character is usually thought to embrace all his qualities and deficiencies regarding his traits of personality, behavior, integrity, temperament, consideration, sportsmanship, altruism, etc., which distinguish him as a human being from his fellow men... His disposition toward criminal acts is only one of the qualities which constitute his character." The FCC's paradigm shift, if accepted by the Administrative Law Judge, Arthur I. Steinberg, will have monumental significance in the way the FCC will tackle present and future enforcement issues.
Speaking of Character
We noticed that one popular website is urging people to call James and Mary Daugherty at (217) 824-3675. The website requests that concerned parties tell Todd Daugherty, N9OGL's parents (whom he resides with) that their son might benefit from a mental health examination, based on his numerous threats against government officials, and his continued libel of others, as well as his prediliction for posting cartoon images of infants being raped by adults. Wal-Mart, in Taylorville, IL (217) 287-7219 as well as FBI and Taylorville police, have already been apprised of the situation and they are monitoring carefully, regarding any new developments.
Likewise, David Tolassi's wife, Jane Tolassi, is an amateur operator, and our sources indicate she might be inclined to speak with her husband David about his habit of slandering others, stalking others workplaces and employees, and in general, she may be amenable in attempting to dissuade him from consulting with Karol Madera, VE7KFM, regarding his threats to murder government officials. Jane Tolassi works at U-32 School in Montpelier, Vermont. The public, published Staff Directory, lists Jane under Business Education at U-32. This can be helpful in locating Jane Tolassi, or you might wish to contact her at her published email address, jtolassi@u32.org or by mail and/or telephone, at:

Karol ‘L’imbécile Madera is still acting like a violent, anti-American jammer and a bitter, pathological liar, and frustrated, repressed homosexual. So what else is new?
Glad you asked! Industry Canada is working closely with the Radio Amateurs of Canada to bring an end to 3 years of an embarrasing lack of enforcement in the Victoria area, and we have a couple of amusing 'Letters from Karol' which we may add as a regular feature. The letters truly reveal the intrapsychic ramblings of a lunatic like nothing we could ever put together ourselves. Please enjoy the following 'Letters from Karol' and please send in your own letters for publication!
Exclusive Recording
Mike Lonneke and Dan Jeswald discussed the Karol Madera problem on 14285 KHz. They thought they'd be free of Madera's jamming, fully 10 KHz above Madera's usually haunt. They were forced to move to 14272 KHz when Madera followed them to 14285 KHz and maliciously jammed their conversation. Lonneke said: "I can't stand what that guy in Canada says half the time... I hate what he says and I think it's terrible... I object to the obscenity.... I told him to knock that filthy stuff off about Hollingsworth, and I told him, you don't have any proof of this... I've told him repeatedly, you're going to have to bear the consequences of people's ire if you keep saying these things."
Jeswald agreed with Lonneke's sentiments and accurately observed that Karol Madera is not a US citizen, and therefore, Madera does not enjoy the rights of a US citizen. In fact, Madera's signal can usually be considered the same as harmful interference and completely disregarded under US amateur radio rules. Harmful interference is defined as: [a signal which] seriously degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication service operating in accordance with the Radio Regulations. In other words, when the Canadian station plays 19 minute obscene recordings; plays music; speaks with pirate stations; speaks with unidentified stations; uses obscenities, profanity, and/or engages in slander; his signal is illegal in the United States, and such signals can be legally ignored and disregarded under US rules.
Industry Canada -- We Don't Regulate Ham Radio... Do We?
To the amazement of VA3EDP, Ed Pereira, of Bolton, Ontario, he received a message from the Toronto bureau of Spectrum Management, Industry Canada, in response to a complaint about violation(s) of the Canadian radio regulations. As it turns out, the email from Industry Canada was in error, but its content and the implications derived therefrom will amaze you and possibly leave you dismayed, as well!
By now, we are all familiar with the fact that Industry Canada has failed to provide the slightest effective regulation over Karol Madera's (VE7KFM) lies, slander, threats, obscenities, hate propaganda, and the numerous complaints regarding his overbroad and distorted signal. We are also all aware that Madera counted the now disgraced Maxime Bernier (former Minister of Industry Canada) among his good friends. Bernier virtually ignored Madera's case and Jim Laursen of the Victoria branch of IC has still failed to act decisively, 3 years into the disgraceful debacle emanating only 2 miles away from Industry Canada's Victoria office, where Laursen hangs his hat.
Now we've gained further insight into the lackadaisical and misinformed approach that Industry Canada takes with regard to Amateur enforcement in Canada. The email from Spectrum Management, spells out the problem, in all its shabby bureaucratese:

After witnessing Maxime Bernier's lacklustre performance, and that of the Spectrum Management office in Victoria and Toronto, is it any wonder Madera continues to terrorize the airwaves? This is a plea to all good Canadian radio enthusiasts everywhere: Take back your spectrum from these lazy and inattentive bureaucrats. Write Parliament, write to RAC, and to Industry Canada, and demand that they remove this malicious blight which gives a black eye to the otherwise proud and distinguished Canadian Amateur Radio esprit de corps.
[This has been an Editorial brought to you by your friends at VE7KFM.COM]
Is Pseudologia Fantastica Responsible for Karol Madera's Pathological Lying?
An article by Charles C. Dike, MD; Madelon Baranoski, PhD; and Ezra E. H. Griffith, MD in the Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law discusses those who (like Karol Madera) make up tall tales and weave them into complex narratives and conspiracy theories. Karol Madera has been described as a pathological liar since at least 2005, and this fascinating article may shed light on the pathology that drives him. Madera's latest lie (among many others) is that Riley Hollingsworth is being blackmailed and that Madera is responsible for Hollingsworth's retirement. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Madera's lying has grown to such epic proportions that the latest description of Karol Madera is that if Madera's mouth is moving, he is lying. To make matters worse, Madera has teamed up with another notorious liar, Mark C. Morgan of Chassell, Michigan. This, in an ongoing effort to defame those who have made formal complaints about both Madera and Morgan.
There is considerable evidence indicating both Madera and Morgan have been pathological liars for years. Madera described an occasion when he was in the Canadian military where he lied to the ranking officer and everyone else present about his rank. In fact, Madera actually said he advanced himself several ranks on the occasion of that fraudulent episode.
The terms Mythomania and Pseudologia Fantastica may be synonomous with the term pathological liar, but noted author L.S. Selling disagreed. Selling believed that "obvious mental disease, particularly a diagnosable psychopathic personality of some type" was responsible for pseudologia fantastica. (Ref. The psychiatric aspects of the pathological liar. Nerv Child 1:335–50, 1942) Psychologists also blame such conditions on "superego lacunae" or "a need for the patient to produce narcissistic gratification."
The authors of the journal article, who are Professors at Yale University in New Haven, CT., contend that "The impact of pathological lying deserves critical attention from forensic psychiatrists because of the implications that untruths [lies] have in a legal context." As previously mentioned, we have been notified that plans are already underway for lawsuits regarding the pathological, malicious, and harmful lies currently being distributed on the Internet by Karol Madera and his cohorts.
"While no consensus definition for pathological lying currently exists in the literature, the identified functional elements of the phenomenon are: the repeated utterance of untruths; the lies are often repeated over a period of years, with the lies eventually becoming a lifestyle; the lying is an end in itself; an inner dynamic rather than an external reason drives the lies, but when an external reason is suspected, the lies are far in excess of the suspected external reason; the lies are often woven into complex narratives." Madera lies constantly, both on the air, and in writing. Therefore, we believe that this interesting theory dovetails perfectly with what we know about Karol Florian Madera of Saanich, BC, and his friends, who are often criminals and habitual liars themselves.
VE7KFM Featured In Urban Dictionary
We recently received a letter from Daniel who performs relief work with a Baptist Relief agency. Daniel writes: "I just started listening to the garbage going on at 14.275 and was interested. I'm sure you've already seen this, but on the off chance
that you haven't, I thought I would send you this message. While google searching ve7kfm, it brought up a link to the urban dictionary with the most disgusting thing I have every read. This cannot be coincidental, this guy is one sick person.
We agree Daniel, VE7KFM is obviously suffering from one or more maladies. It's also very unfortunate that he's begun jamming 14.275 with a 19 minute recording of obscenities which nearly match his own habitually disgusting verbiage. We hope Industry Canada will work with the Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) instead of ignoring and/or playing bureaucratic lip service to their many and frequent complaints.
Mark Morgan Banned Again
Regarding habitual liar, Mark Morgan, who was recently banned by the websites qrz and ham island, the following was posted at ham island: AL2N (admin) wrote: "You just do not get it do you? You made the comment, I simply replied that you are not the first person around here to hang themselves. Fine, have it your way. Hang yourself. You are now banned. Go back to the usenet group and stir the pot there. We are done with you here. You have done nothing but disrupt the forum in your time here. Seems it is never your fault either. I would suggest that you stop visiting internet forums until you can come to grips with reality. Till that happens, you will never know peace."
Todd Daugherty Banned Again
Regarding Todd Daugherty, N9OGL, who was also recently banned by the websites qrz and ham island, the following was posted at ham island: AD4MG wrote: "OGL has been banned for his comments on interfering with emergency freqs and hopes of killing people. He will have to find another forum to vent on."
Todd Daugherty's Blog Removed by Google
Todd Daugherty's Blog 'n9oglvoice' has also been removed from view for terms of service violations. In answer to several emails, yes, we were among those who lodged complaints with Google and the FBI and the FCC regarding several apparent violations on Daugherty's blog. The excellent parody N9OGL VOICE serves as a reminder of what was... In reponse to this action, Daugherty writes: "THAT'S OK SHIT FOR BRAINS I WILL NOW BE RETURNING TO RADIO...WATCH THE FUCKING FBI AND FCC STOP ME....NOW WHO'S LAUGHING BITCH."
Karol Madera's 'Good Friend' Maxime Bernier, Resigns in Disgrace
The ex-Minister for Industry Canada Maxime Bernier, a Minister in Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government, has resigned in disgrace. Maxime Bernier the minister Karol Madera claimed as his good friend, staunch ally, and trusty defender, came under withering criticism when he left classified NATO documents at a former girl friend's apartment. The girl friend, Julie Couillard of Montreal, allegedly has ties to a Quebec motorcycle gang. Bernier has since been called "a bungler" and "an incompetent" and according to some in the Canadian political arena, he never should have risen to the post of minister of foreign affairs.
Several Canadian citizens have written to Stephen Harper's government to ask for a review of Industry Canada's indolent response to complaints regarding Karol Madera. These citizens have also filed freedom of information requests about what Industry Canada knew and when they knew it. To date, RCMP, FBI, FCC, the US State Department, and other agencies have all received formal complaints about Karol Florian Madera, VE7KFM.
Bill Crowell, W6WBJ Case Moves Forward
Bill Crowell, W6WBJ, served by FCC with Request for Documents and Interrogatories.
Here; Here; Here; and; Here. The interrogatories appear to indicate allegations of jamming; threats; deliberate interference; defamation; and everything but the kitchen sink. Crowell has the burden of proof as to why he should be allowed to renew his FCC license at the Hearing before Administrative Law Judge Steinberg in October, 2008.
[Now, A Public Service Announcement by the Center for Media Studies]
Have you been falsely accused of child abuse by Mark C. Morgan, KB9RQZ, of 17366 River Rd. Chassell, MI 49916 ? If so, you should read this web page which discusses the mindset of the false accuser, his excuses, his lack of remorse, his vengeful nature, and the pathological lying associated with false abuse claims.
Mark C. Morgan is the President of Copper Country Radio Amateur Association. Morgan is a known liar and a self-described ally of another known liar, Karol Florian Madera, of 3040 Tillicum Road, Saanich, British Columbia V9A 2B3. Protect yourself from the malicious lies perpetrated by Morgan and Madera. Do not hesitate to call local law enforcement and the FBI if you've been victimized in this fashion.
Karol Florian Madera, VE7KFM, Barely Repressed Homosexual Desire?
Studies published by the American Psychological Association suggest there is an 80% probability that Karol Florian Madera, VE7KFM is a repressed homosexual. He is/was also a failure in the military, law, radio, and real estate. Nevertheless, he calls the FBI, CIA, FCC, and RCMP, "incompetent faggots". The ironies continue to compound.
Daugherty, Madera, Morgan: Personae Non Gratae
Todd Daugherty and Mark Morgan, allies of Karol Madera have been identified as 'persona non grata' at a radio forum where they washed up after being banned from qrz.com for posting a combination of lies, threats, and defamation sponsored by Karol Madera, a man the FCC dubbed "a fruitcake" at the largest Ham Radio convention in the world. See the latest exchange of opinions regarding Mark Morgan and Todd Daugherty, here. Madera has long been banned from these, and other forums, for obvious reasons.
Dayton Hamvention Update:
In an obvious reference to Karol Madera, Todd Daugherty, Mark Morgan, Douglas Gerry, et al, Hollingsworth said, "You have some rude operators and operators who don't care and who are hateful and bitter about life in general, but every group has that, whether it's doctors, electricians, lawyers, plumbers, whatever, every group has a certain percentage of people like that. What you have to do is to remind yourself every day to stay on the high road and report to us if you can't resolve a problem after you've given it a chance to go away. There are plenty of ugly situations in the world and you don't have to add to them. Now, there are a few idiots in your Service who know all the answers, only because they haven't thought of all the questions. They just want recognition and reaction. Don't give it to them. Don't be baited. Don't feel insulted -- they are their own worst punishment. Don't dignify them with a response."
Considering Karol Madera's threats against Riley Hollingsworth and others, increased security measures were in place at the FCC forum in Dayton this year. The first obvious measure was that the FCC forum was videotaped by security professionals. Riley Hollingsworth and Bill Cross each delivered an interesting and informative talk. Each received enthusiastic applause. After they spoke there was an opportunity for questions. People who asked questions were handed a microphone and asked to give their names and callsigns.
The one and only apparent representive of Karol Madera was a scowling older man who sat in the rear of the FCC forum wearing a rumpled and soiled shirt that read "Support Radio Canada" -- He had no questions, because he had all the answrs, and judging by the miserable expression on his face, he was not enjoying himself. At the end of the forum, he stalked out to his vehicle and left the grounds. We are reviewing the security tapes now and we will ID the unhappy looking fellow when we give you our next update.
Karol Madera, VE7KFM Urges Assault on Federal Agent Hollingsworth
Madera vows: "al Qaeda will get aid and comfort!"
Allah is in the ascendancy
Anti-American themes predominate
Karol Madera, VE7KFM kicked off his "Throw Riley Hollingsworth Out of Dayton" radio-thon on Saturday, May 17, 2008. Madera's attempt to incite the amateur community to assault Hollingsworth was a failure, not unlike its principle instigator. Madera had 3 check-ins in approximately 5 hours, as opposed to at least 200 amateurs who opposed his comments, based on email we've received. All but 3 amateurs either opposed Madera or treated him with derision by calling him a coward (and worse) for not going to Dayton to face Riley Hollingsworth himself.
The frequency (14.275 MHz) was already in use at 10:45 Eastern Time when Madera began to urge Dayton Hamvention attendees to "tar and feather Hollingsworth" and to "kick Hollingsworth's ass" at the Dayton Hamvention. Karol Madera and David Tolassi, WA1BHV, once again engaged in a now familiar conversation reminiscent of their previous death threats against public officials. Madera told David Tolassi that they (Madera and Tolassi) should give out instructions on how to "assassinate Hollingsworth" whom Madera described a "disingenuous puke" who is "constantly sucked off by other men." Madera also said it was "open season" on both Riley Hollingsworth and Brian Crow. Madera also urged Tolassi to "kill all the Crows."
Madera urged Tolassi to "kill all the crows" which was apparently directed at Brian Crow's family, since Crow is a complainant in the case against Karol Madera. As previously mentioned, David J. Tolassi of Barre, Vermont has already been interviewed by the FBI in connection with previous complaints involving harassment, stalking, and death threats against both Crow and Hollingsworth. It is widely expected that Tolassi will encounter serious legal difficulties as a result of these activities.
Madera made numerous homophobic references to man-on-man sex, which psychologists say is an excellent indication of repressed homosexual desire. Madera seemed to confirm this theory by telling Tolassi in "an admission against interest" that he never obtained satisfaction from a heterosexual act until he was over 50, and he went on to tell Tolassi that he saw nothing interesting in the movie Deep Throat.
George Zardecki, N9VTB, told Madera that his words were extremely interesting and he encouraged him to continue. Madera, Zardecki, and Tolassi were joined by Chrys Moszyk, KG2BU in this extremely demented conversation that lasted half the day. Tolassi, not coincidentally was warned by the FCC and visited by the FBI recently for threatening to murder two men at the 2007 Dayton Hamvention (one of them, Riley Hollingsworth).
Tolassi, Zardecki, and Moszyk encouraged Madera's obscene and delusional rant, which continued for the better part of four hours. Many listeners told Madera to "stop hiding behind the microphone" and to meet with Hollingsworth in Dayton. A man who offered Madera an all expenses paid trip to to the Dayton Hamvention called Madera "a worthless little shitbird with no balls." He speculated that "Madera would last 15 minutes at Dayton before someone knocked him out." Needless to say, as predicted, Madera stayed at home, making threats from the relative safety of his tiny shack on Vancouver Island.
FCC Special Counsel For Amateur Enforcement To Retire in July
FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth says if all goes as planned, he will retire in July, 2008. Mr. Hollingsworth says he stayed on at the FCC to follow through with a few outstanding enforcement issues, which he says are well underway and moving in the right direction. Mr. Hollingsworth indicates he's happy with the current state of the Amateur Service in the United States and he plans to remain involved in amateur radio, which he says is gaining in popularity and numbers. New license grants indicate Mr. Hollingsworth is correct.
Mr. Hollingsworth says he is confident that the FCC will continue to provide an enforcement liaison to the Amateur Service and he is pleased that there is a core group of dedicated amateurs willing to assist the FCC in the true spirit and tradition of amateur self-policing. Riley Hollingsworth's popularity was more than evident at the 2008 Hamvention where the FCC Forums were attended by standing room only crowds. We wish Mr. Hollingsworth well in all his future endeavors!
Madera's Protege' Todd Daugherty, N9OGL threatens Murder!
"Free Speech Advocate" Todd E. Daugherty, N9OGL, a 40 year old who lives with his parents, continues to exercise his 1st Amendment rights by posting images of children being raped by adults and infants receiving cunnilingus from adult females, among other perversions. Daugherty is a threatening and disgusting pervert employed as a part time cart pusher at the Taylorville, Illinois Wal-Mart. Daugherty was twice warned by the FCC for allegedly illegal activities and Daugherty has reported that he is under investigation by the FBI.
Daugherty replied in writing to a fellow blogger, telling him he would put a bullet through his kneecap and his brain. Daugherty says he will murder the blogger and perform a DOS attack on Google unless the blogger removes a webpage parody which Daugherty apparently dislikes. Parody and Satire are both protected forms of expression under the US Constitution. Threats of murder are not. The FBI, FCC, and Taylorville, IL Police Department have been notified.
We have contacted Google, to register our complaints. Google, the host of Daugherty's blog is investigating the situation. We are confident Daugherty's blog will be removed as it is in violation of their published terms of service.
Congratulations
Kudos to Special Counsel, W. Riley Hollingsworth of the FCC Enforcement Bureau. As a result of Mr. Hollingsworth's continued perseverence, pirates and troublemakers like Todd Daugherty, Brandon Duke, David Castle, and a host of other miscreants have been heard less frequently on our shortwave bands. Hollingsworth is credited with spreading the word about "the Fruitcake in Canada" at last year's Dayton Radio Convention. In the past 10 years, he has diligently removed law breakers from the airwaves at a steady pace.
To date, Todd Daugherty, Brandon Duke, Joe Goldberg, David Castle, Whitney Tritch, Glenn Baxter, David Tolassi, Jerku Zardecki, Chrys Moszyk, Sid Mahan, and numerous others, have received communications from various federal authorities. Government intervention has significantly diminished the jamming, threats, criminality, and obscenities perpetrated by the friends of Karol Madera. Recently, only Whitney Tritch (N3ZV), David Tolassi (WA1BHV), Douglas Gerry (NR5T), George Zardecki (N9VTB) and Donald Anderson (N4TAT) regularly appear on 14.275 MHz in order to facilitate Madera's obscenity laden communications.
No Surprise: Madera and Company... Still Lying
According to evidence gathered and numerous reports, Karol Madera, David Tolassi, Mark Morgan, Whitney Tritch, and Douglas Gerry perpetuated the false and malicious rumor that Dan Jeswald passed away from a heart attack. Madera said he hoped Jeswald was not dead, only that he was a "mature, blathering, drooling, vegetable." Tolassi who has harassed Jeswald for years posted an article on a website, perpetuating the false rumor. Readers may recall that David Tolassi is a friend of Madera's who was previously removed from 20 meters for a period of 3 years in an FCC enforcement action related to engaging in similar on-air defamation and false rumors.
Mark Morgan also perpetuated the rumor on his webpage. Morgan cals himself Karol Madera's ally. Morgan is a notorious liar who lodged false reports of child abuse against complainants in the case against Karol Madera. Morgan is currently aiding Madera by distributing still more defamation on servers in the United States. Even after Morgan was informed that Jeswald is very much alive, he foolishly insisted that Jeswald, suffered a heart attack or stroke, and that he may even be in a vegetative state. Morgan, who apparently wouldn't recognize a fact if he tripped over one, still insists he is reporting "facts." The FCC, FBI, RCMP, and Canadian authorities have all expressed interest in Madera's use of American websites in order to distribute defamation.
An Old Pirate Has a New License
Karol Madera's old friend Joe Goldberg has been granted a conditional General class license. Provided Goldberg doesn't do anything illegal in the next two years, his license status will revert to a regular 10 year term. Per the Enforcement Bureau, this license (KJ4DVD) is limited to a two year grant and the licensee is prohibited from operating on frequencies between 14.272 and 14.278 MHz. Goldberg won't be able to speak with his old friend Karol Madera on 14.275 for at least two years, but presumably he has left his old life as a Pirate of the Caribbean behind. We wish him well, and we trust the FCC will be watching carefully from high atop the Crow's nest at the FCC's High Frequency Direction Finding Center.
Government Agencies: Increase Cooperation And Intelligence Sharing
The FBI and FCC continue to display outstanding dedication as they vigorously pursue identified suspects in Internet and radio related crimes. A case in point is the investigation into Todd Daugherty and David Tolassi's multiple threats. Daugherty recently had this to say about the US Military:
"SO TELL ME YOU FUCKING COCKSUCKERS, WHAT FUCKING FREEDOMS ARE THOSE JACKASS IN THE MILITARY FIGHTING FOR?? I'll tell you, they are fighting for LIE, nothing more, nothing less. Ever person who has served in the military during any great war, has been fighting for a LIE, and what worse, no one gives a shit."
Indicating his belief that he's still under FBI surveillance, Daugherty wrote; "I have the FBI visiting me (AFTER ALL THEY CAN'T CATCH REAL CRIMINALS, SO THEY HAVE TO BULLY OTHER PEOPLE)... BTW FBI BITCHES...TELL BARNEY FIVE NOT TO PART TOO CLOSE TO MY HOUSE SO I CAN SEE HIS SORRY ASS!!!"
As previously reported, Todd Daugherty (N9OGL) engaged in multiple violent and obscene rants about "people restricting his free speech." However, in a supremely ironic twist, only Daugherty's "team members" can make comments on Daugherty's blog. The only team member we've seen posting at Daugherty's blog is a man who describes himself as Karol Madera's ally. He is Mark Morgan (KB9RQZ). Morgan, with Madera's assistance, lodged false complaints of child abuse against complainants in the case against Madera. So much for Daugherty's concept of "free speech."
Todd Daugherty is yet another dim witted Karol Madera protege'. Daugherty is from Illinois. He reports being visited by the FBI on Tuesday, April 15, 2008. Daugherty said he was interviewed by the FBI for over an hour. Daugherty said the FBI asked him not to discuss the ongoing investigation. However, Daugherty reported (on his blog) that the FBI visited him to discuss a threat he made in January, 2008 against FCC Agent Riley Hollingsworth. The FBI visit came not long after Daugherty published a scathing attack against a 10 year old boy. Daugherty posted the youngster's picture and this note:
"ANONE HERE (KNOW) KC9XXX GOOD LET TALK ABOUT THAT SON OF A BITCHWHORE. FIRST OFF THE LITTLE COCK SUCKER SUCKS ARRL COCK, HE GET HIS HAIRLESS NUTS OFF BY KICKING PEOPLE (WHO ARE WAY FUCKING BIGGER THEN HIM AND CAN KICK HIS LITTLE ASS BACK IN HIS SLUT MAMA'S CRACKWHORE WOMB) ASS OFF OF ECHOLINK....BUT HEY DON'T WORRY, MR. TODD WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT....BECAUSE WHO KNOWS WHAT'S LURKING IN THE DARK SHADOWS....IT COULD BE ANYTHING, INCLUDING ME"
Why is the FBI concerned about a part time Wal-Mart cart pusher like Todd Daugherty? Perhaps it's because Daugherty previously threatened to flood email servers at the FCC; threatened Riley Hollingsworth with an attack that would 'make bin Laden look like a school boy;' said he is at war with the government; posted an ominous attack against a ten year old boy; was twice Warned by the FCC about his Omega One radio station; and Daugherty said, the FBI also showed interest in his "art". Daugherty says he 'voluntarily' removed his lolicon blog featuring animated images of infants in sexual positions with adults.
Daugherty has recently begun suffering from the persistent delusion that someone from this website has emailed him. Daugherty has also begun making increasingly violent threats about blowing people up. Daugherty previously wrote an open letter to Riley Hollingsworth, stating that he (Daugherty) would outdo Osama bin Ladin's actions. His exact words were: "BECAUSE YOU ALL TO MAKE THIS PERSONAL, I MAKE IT PERSONAL, AND I WON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE LAW, AND WILL MAKE WHAT BIN LAUDIN DID LOOK LIKE IT WAS DONE BY A FUCKING FIFTH GRADER... NO ONE FUCKS WITH FREE SPEECH....SO FUCKING BACK OFF YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT....OR IT WILL HAPPEN!!!!" When we have more information on these developments, you will be the first to know.
Bill Crowell, W6WBJ Amateur Radio License Renewal: D-Day October 21, 2008
The FCC has requested that Judge Arthur Steinberg direct William Crowell, W6WBJ, to refrain from making derogatory personal comments regarding Riley Hollingsworth, and to limit his remarks, arguments, and inquiries to the issues in Crowell's Hearing Designation Order.
The FCC objected to Crowell's "ad hominem attacks," called his interrogatories "offensive in the extreme, entirely outside the scope of permissible discovery, and interposed in bad faith." See the FCC documents here, here, and here.
Now that the procedural schedule has been officially established, October 21, 2008 is the 'make or break' date for Bill Crowell's amateur radio license renewal application. The transcript of proceedings from the Bill Crowell pre-hearing conference on April 2, 2008 are available here and here. On the appointed date, Crowell must appear in Washington in order to prove that he is qualified to be and to remain a Commission licensee.
Crowell has described FCC Enforcement Bureau employee Riley Hollingsworth as being incompetent, but Crowell's performance in this matter has been less than inspired, according to public documents obtained by the Center for Media Studies.
FLASHBACK
The year was 2005. The place, 14.275 mHZ. Karol Madera defended Bill Crowell (W6WBJ) on the now defunct K1MAN SHOW. Madera told listeners that Crowell was a highly qualified attorney who could run circles around Riley Hollingsworth. Madera has predicted that Hollingsworth will retire before October 21, 2008.
Hollingsworth Discusses A Canadian on 14275MHz Who Threatens Bodily Harm to Public Officials
Riley Hollingsworth Shares His Views On Enforcement
Speaking as an individual, and not representing any government entity, Riley Hollingsworth recently provided his opinions during an evening before a large club of amateur radio operators. Hollingsworth stated that the amateur service is coming into its 10th year of enforcement, and that his responsibility is to give enforcement all the attention that it deserves.
"Regardless that most interference is accidental, hams are anxious to complain. Riley compared this to people who fight for a parking spot at the local Wal-Mart, when there are many more spots all around. Mention was made of a Canadian on 14275MHz who actually threatens bodily harm to public officials. It was suggested that if you hear bad people on the air, that hams should not tolerate them, and should simply ostracize them."
Riley suggested that not having the code may be the best thing for introducing it [the code], and he compared its earlier requirement with being best way to ruin a book -- by placing it onto a required reading list in school. The speaker was highly appreciated, and drew a high level of applause. [Courtesy YORFO]
Our communications intercepts found Karol Madera taping 14.275 and trying to pass his tapes to government officials in the USA as legitmate recordings of malfeasance.
Madera's house is under surveillance and his communications are routinely intercepted. In fact, Madera's own intercepted communications led to the FCC Warning issued to his good friend, Joe, the "Pirate of the Caribbean," who was identified earlier this year as a result of Madera's shoddy (non-existent) computer security protocols.
See the FCC Enforcement Log for the Warning letter to Joe Goldberg.
This week, Madera was in communication via voice-over-Internet-protocol (VOIP) with his friend, notorious callsign hi-jacker, liar, and noted fraud, Whitney Tritch, N3ZV.
Madera told several individuals he asked Tritch to pass a recording to government officials in the United States. The recording was not Tritch's at all; it originated in Saanich, BC, and it came from Madera, not Tritch. It was Madera's fondest hope that his phony complaint would come to the attention of officials in this country.
It was not to be. As a known liar and fraud, anything obtained from Madera is considered "fruit of the poisonous tree" in the United States. According to intercepts of conversations from Madera, his recording was, predictably, rejected.
Listen to our intercept of Madera struggling to speak while Whitney Tritch's bad cough comes (loudly) through Madera's computer speakers. This occurred even as they were in a VOIP session and as Madera pretended not to be able to hear Tritch.
The last time Madera attempted a ruse like this, Madera lied as he pretended not to be able to hear George Zardecki, N9VTB, on the air, even as Zardecki was heard (loudly) coming through Madera's own computer speakers! We're sure Tritch and Madera will attempt another underhanded scheme at some point in the future, but we do hope they try harder next time.
Madera is well known for fraudulent antics of this type. See, for example, the explanation (below) of how Madera used a mindless surrogate (Mark C. Morgan) in order to report at least 3 complainants against Madera, for child abuse. Madera's plan failed (as usual) and rebounded to his further discredit.
Numerous complaints have been filed against Karol Florian Madera for harassment, stalking, threats, and various radio related infractions. Lately, Madera appears to be absolutely filled with homoerotic lust for Brian Crow, K3VR. In fact, Madera can't stop talking about him!
If the Commission finds Crowell offensive, what must they think of Karol Madera? "Fruitcake" hardly seems like an apt description these days. Seemingly obsessed with the male appendage and homosexual lovemaking, Karol Florian Madera recently mentioned "cock sucking" over two dozen times in one hour!
When not engaged in describing homosexual acts he'd like to perform with other men, Madera pretends to have on air conversations with Riley Hollingsworth. Madera also blames others for jamming these non-existent conversations, particularly when those he blames are not on the air to defend themselves.
There was minor renewed interest in the Glenn Baxter (K1MAN) case this week as numerous individuals reported receiving an email proclamation of sorts. Rather than go into it here, see the article about K1MAN at the popular Internet site, QRZ. One item in the email was worthy of note. It said, and we quote, "K1MAN deplores the antics of VE7KFM." We did not receive the email, therefore we can neither confirm, nor deny its authenticity.
Karol Madera was blamed recently for "planting" false items on the Internet, just like his ally Mark Morgan. Gordon Benjamin reported that he believes Madera creates items, then says "look what I found, which so and so wrote about you." This tactic seemed to work for Madera, until recently. See Gordon Benjamin's description of how he feels he has been misled by Karol Madera.
On April 9, 2008, Gordon Benjamin, N6WK came to the conclusion that most observers came to long ago. Karol Madera, VE7KFM, is a manipulative liar who will take any step necessary in order to paint himself as a victim, including doing things like having white powder mailed to him and posting negative remarks about himself on the internet, so he can then point the finger of blame at those who have exposed the truth about him.
Numerous false reports have been sent to various authorities by Karol Madera, and at Madera's direct request. All of the reports we have examined which were sponsored by Madera have been discovered to be fraudulent and/or highly misleading in nature. At this point in time, only a few, very misguided individuals will have anything at all to do with Karol Madera. Most, if not all of these individuals are of extremely questionable intellect and character.
Frauds, Criminals, and Identity Thieves, Oh My!
A man, posing as a female, hijacked the callsign of KA1HOT this week on a popular Internet site. The purpose of the hijack was to defame two individuals who have been critical of Karol Madera, VE7KFM. Shortly following the first hijack, a second hijack occurred, also perpetrated by a man posing as a woman. More defamatory comments ensued. Fortunately, both frauds were discovered in short order and traced to men who have previously echoed Karol Madera's malicious defamation.
As if on cue, Madera's regular supporters joined the thread in defense of Madera. One of them, well known liar, Junior Oswald, W3DUB, a pimply newcomer to amateur radio, called for the thread's immediate shut down. As usual, Oswald's wishes were ignored.
Next, it was notorious identity thief and chronic liar, Whitney Tritch's turn at bat. Tritch, N3ZV, was revealed to be a hypocrite with a sad history. Last October Tritch was discovered stealing a sick and elderly man's identity for the purpose of posting defamation at the same website.
Tritch and Oswald were previously banned from the website and Madera remains banned. Mark Morgan, KB9RQZ, is permanently banned for repeating malicious lies on the website. It is apparent that Madera and his small band of deluded sycophants will leave no lie untold as they attempt to create havoc and ruin the reputations of decent and law abiding netizens.
FLASHBACK: Karol Madera, VE7KFM invites Junior Oswald, W3DUB (formerly KB3JGU) to Canada for a menage a trois with Madera and David Tolassi, WA1BHV.
FLASHBACK: Whitney Tritch, N3ZV was banned from QRZ.com for stealing the identity of a sick and elderly gentleman.
April 4, 2008 -- UPDATES IN THE BILL CROWELL, W6WBJ, CASE
William F. Crowell, W6WBJ, appeared before Judge Arthur I. Steinberg by speakerphone on April 2nd at a prehearing conference in Washington, DC. Crowell has made uncomplimentary remarks about Riley Hollingsworth, calling Hollingsworth "an incompetent idiot" with "no understanding of Part 97" and "a bluffing bullshit artist." Competence certainly seems to be an issue in the Crowell case, however, most objective observers agree; Riley Hollingsworth's competence is not at issue, nor is it in question in this case.
Crowell's Motion to compel the Bureau to answer his first set of interrogatories was Dismissed. His Request that the ALJ take Judicial Notice was also Dismissed. In addition, two emails from Crowell to the Judge were Stricken. Crowell's Motions, Petitions, and emails were found to be improperly filed and therefore procedurally defective. Although Crowell's Petition to appear by speakerphone was previously Dismissed, the Judge reversed his earlier decision because the Commission had no objection to Crowell appearing by speakerphone at the April 2nd conference. However, this is not a blanket approval to appear by speakerphone at subsequent conferences. Crowell will bear the burden of proof in his struggle to renew his FCC license.
The Strange Case of Karol Madera's Ally, Mark Morgan
Mark Morgan (kb9rqz blog photo) is the President of the ARRL affiliated, CCRAA amateur radio club in Michigan's upper peninsula.
Morgan identifies himself as a bisexual Jewish amateur who is into bondage, domination, and sado-masochism. He has been accused of flooding newsgroups with thousands of nonsensical messages over a period of years, using several different screen names.
Sometime in November, 2007, Morgan accused several individuals of offering him a boy for the purposes of sexual gratification. Morgan reported these individuals to various agencies without the slightest bit of evidence regarding their involvement, then he published the names of the individuals in multiple venues. He continues to do so today. We rush to clarify that ALL of Morgan's allegations against innocent parties are completely unfounded.
Morgan, (self-described "ally of Karol Madera, VE7KFM") reports that a man named Brad (presumably the President of the K3CR amateur radio club at Penn State University) has contacted him regarding the lies he posted about K3CR on his blog.
"Mr. Morgan; It seems that someone is taking an interest in this, at least at our end, and has taken the opportunity to simultaneously email all of our officers and the Dean's office in relation to these allegations. Thank you for the information that you have provided. If this doesn't go away soon, I'm sure we will be in contact again."
Morgan has utterly failed to apologize for publicizing false allegations about K3CR and numerous others. In fact, Morgan has even attempted to confuse the issue by blaming our site for reporting the facts. Unfortunately, to add insult to injury, Morgan continues to publicly malign multiple others for involvement in a child sex crime.
Morgan also implicated the FCC's Riley Hollingsworth in his fabrications. The circle of lies appears to be growing ever larger. Morgan has made these statements in the context of his role as President of CCRAA. Apparently he fails to realize that promulgating falsehoods about others could lead to large civil suits, for himself and his radio club. Should the false allegations be found to have been made maliciously, parties could be held responsible for triple damages, plus court costs and attorney's fees.
In addition, Morgan's actions may mean he could be recalled as President of CCRAA, if 2/3 of CCRAA members present at a club meeting agree that lying, and spreading unwarranted and malicious defamation and unproven allegations have brought disgrace upon the club. See CCRAA bylaw 4.c for details:
4.c A member or associate, bringing disgrace to the CCRAA, can have participation rights revoked by a two-thirds (2/3) written ballot of those members present at a regular membership meeting.
Morgan insists that someone is harassing him, but rather than gather facts and real evidence with the aid of law enforcement, Morgan foolishly and recklessly defames and lashes out at anyone he suspects could be his online tormentor. Morgan, a resident of 17366 North River Rd, Chassell, MI 49916 (Morgan blog photo) apparently has much to answer for.
We will continue to follow these bizarre and unfounded allegations, made by Mark C. Morgan, President of the ARRL affiliated Copper Country Radio Amateur Association, Inc., P.O. Box 217, Dollar Bay, MI 49922-0217.
Bill Crowell -- Denied!
'Request(s) Denied!' Bill Crowell (W6WBJ) filed a petition to permit him to appear at all pretrial conferences before the FCC by speakerphone. That request has been denied by the Presiding Judge on the Judge's own Motion. According to Judge Steinberg, the motion was not officially or properly filed with the Commission, and, in an apparent slap at Crowell, the Memorandum Opinion and Order said, "In addition, it is not the function of the Office of the Administrative Law Judges to file documents on behalf of parties."
Next, Crowell's request for documents was also denied and dismissed, also on the Presiding Judge's own Motion. Crowell submitted a long list called "A Request of Documents and Things for Inspection, Copying and Photographing," however, section 1.325(a) of the Commission's rules allow for discovery from any party except the Commission, and this includes the Enforcement Bureau. With the dismissal of Crowell's Petition, Motion, and Request, Crowell's case seems to be off to anything but an auspicious start. With this Order, Crowell must appear in person on April 2, 2008, in Washington, D.C., for the first of many prehearing conferences.
Meanwhile, Karol Madera has predicted that Riley Hollingsworth will retire before Crowell's ALJ hearing takes place. Readers may recall that Madera also took credit for forcing Hollingsworth's retirement (which never happened). Madera made himself the butt of jokes all over the world with that foolish gaffe and it appears he is poised to do it again.
Trouble in Paradise?
Todd Daugherty, N9OGL has criticized Karol Madera, VE7KFM, apparently claiming Madera has attempted to interfere with the operation of his internet site. Daugherty claims Madera wrote to him, demanding that numerous posts be removed from Daugherty's blog. Daugherty reports Madera became angry following his refusal to accede to Madera's demands.
Madera often makes threatening demands about content which displeases him, while continuously lying about and defaming others on his own poorly attended webpage. The smell of hypocrisy emanating from northwest Canada is nearly overwhelming, but, rest assured: The Center for Media Studies will never shrink from our mission. We will report the facts others retreat from, even under threat of violence, libel, slander, and false accusations made to various authorities. Once again, we thank you, Dear Reader, for your monetary contributions, your patronage, and your encouraging email.
Karol Madera's good friend Todd Daugherty is back on the Internet and he is apparently threatening a federal official with something worse than what Usama bin Laden perpetrated on 9/11. See Daugherty's threat, below. The FBI and Taylorville, IL Police have been notified. Please read a Letter to the Editor, regarding Daugherty's threats.

In other news, Gordon Benjamin (N6WK) has finally learned the truth about Karol Madera, the hard way. Benjamin reports he has had a serious falling out with Karol Madera. Benjamin agreed with Hank Segle, N8GAV who called Madera "a bigot" and "a waste" as well as a "Klown (who) thrives on seeing people going at each other."
For his part, Benjamin wrote: "I no longer visit that website. I have asked and asked him to remove any and everything pertaining to me from his web site, but he refuses. In fact, he became very nasty because I wouldn't share private emails with him that I had from others. I had to set up a blocker to automatically reject any emails from him. He told me that if I stopped saying bad things about him, he would remove the articles pertaining to me from his web site, but so far has NOT kept his word... No big surprise there."
Benjamin's words are reminiscent of many other reports we have received from former "friends" of Karol Madera. Here are a few of the statements in our archives: "He can't be trusted... He's a liar who practices at extortion... Nothing he told me had any bearing on the truth... He used me, then when I told him I didn't like him twisting my words for his benefit, he sent me disgusting profanity filled email... He is a horrible man. He sent us the most disgusting sexually graphic letters. We had to obtain police protection. After that, he tried to become a barrister, but he was never accepted into the law society."
These are just a few of the many reports we've received from from fellow students, colleagues, and those formerly on speaking terms with Karol Madera. One correspondent said, "He's as slippery as a greased teflon snake."
Karol Madera appears to be poised to lose posting privileges at yet another radio related Internet site. Posting under the nom de plume "CDN," Madera was taken to task on March 4, 2008. Madera has been banned from posting at qrz.com, truckers forum, the Island, and numerous other Internet sites due to an inability to refrain from personal attacks, libel, and agitating other other forum members with his outrageous lies.
One Moderator told Madera, "We will not allow you to hijack a thread for soapbox diatribe." Another told him "Please stop... you have violated your user agreement with this and the (other) accounts... No further replies unless they are on-topic please." Ironically, Madera has accused others of posting under assumed names. This is merely the most recent case of fraudulent Internet activity by Karol F. Madera, VE7KFM.
MEANWHILE:
24 year old Lindsay Buziak, a real estate agent from Saanich, BC was brutally murdered in early February. Ms. Buziak worked for RE/MAX. The constabulary in British Columbia believe she may have been lured to the empty home where she was murdered, by a woman (or by a man disguising his voice) on the telephone. Police have been made aware of disgraced, former real estate agent, Karol Madera's grudge against the Victoria Real Estate Board (VREB) and at least two other female real estate agents working for RE/MAX.
Madera is not a realtor (or a lawyer). It is a matter of public record that Madera was actually tossed out of the VREB and barred from entering the premises. He was also barred from using the VREB computer system after the Board reported Madera to police for making threats against them.
After the VREB Solicitor notified Madera that he was persona non grata at the VREB, Board members told police that Madera sent them disgusting, homoerotically oriented messages. Madera sued the Board (and lost) regarding his ejection from that body. He was Ordered by the court to pay VREB members $1,000 each, plus court costs and costs associated with appearing in court. See our lawsuit repository page to learn more about Karol Madera's longstanding grudge against the real estate profession.
RELATED:
After an absence of nearly a month, Karol Madera's friend, Todd Daugherty has returned to the Internet with a scathing attack against Riley Hollingsworth, following receipt of another letter from FCC Enforcement on January 29, 2008.
The FCC told Daugherty, "Your response to the Enforcement Bureau received on November 6, 2007 was insufficient and contradictory, and indicates a misunderstanding of the Part 15 power limits for unlicensed stations. For example, you stated that your power levels were in compliance with Part 15 of the Commission's rules, yet in statements made in 2006 and 2007 describing your shortwave station "Omega One" you stated that you were operating at 5 watts, then 10 watts and later 50 and 100 watts."
Daugherty believes the FCC was calling him a liar in their most recent letter. Responding to the FCC in his Blog, Daugherty, (writing in all caps) called FCC Special Counsel for Enforcement Riley Hollingsworth, a "FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT" and "A STUPID FUCK." Daugherty went on to tell Hollingsworth to "TAKE YOUR ENFORCEMENT LETTER, AND SHOVE THEM RIGHT UP YOUR ASS!!!"
Apparently, Daugherty is disturbed because the FCC rejected his previous license applications. Daugherty referred to FCC personnel as "YOU FUCKING COCKSUCKERS AT THE FCC" and told the Commission he would ignore any further letters from them. Daugherty indicated that if he received further communications from the FCC, he would sue them. Daugherty's actual words were, "BTW, ANY MORE WARNING LETTER I RECEIVE I WILL IGNORE. PLEASE BE WARNED YOU KEEP THIS SHIT UP I WILL SUE AND YOUR BITCH BOYFRIENDS FOR HARASSMENT."
SPECIAL REPORT:
Karol Madera is an obscene and threatening racist as well as a notorious thief and fraud. Madera has stolen copyrighted items, using them for his own nefarious purposes. See our inventory of stolen items here. Madera has also apparently misappropriated the names of two internationally recognized businesses.
The book, Buying a Home, is published by the Realty Research Group which is a limited liability corporation (LLC) registered in Virginia by Captain David G. Rathgeber. Madera, who also calls himself "Captain," apparently hijacked Rathgeber's business name, even though Madera is not a real estate agent.
Attorney's for Radio Canada International have contacted Industry Canada regarding Madera's continued misuse of their registered trademark, Radio Canada. In addition, B'nai Brith has called the lack of enforcement action against Madera "a disappointing response -- when in fact there have been trials and convictions of note recently with dedicated and well trained police/crowns." Karol Madera's response to their concern was this: "B'nai Brith, I've got some weapons in the house. Don't come by after sunset."
The Center for Media Studies will be following these cases carefully and we will update our readers as we receive more information regarding pending litigation in these matters.
IN THE NEWS:
Canada is making strides in prosecuting those who distribute hate speech via the internet and other means. Numerous complaints have been sent to Industry Canada and other agencies, including RCMP, regarding Karol Madera's threats, incitement, and hate propaganda. See the following article for Canada's latest victory in the fight against hate speech. Canadian man jailed four months for website promoting hatred. Outraged Canadians ask: "Why is Karol Madera still on the air and on the Internet?" Complainants are urged to call the integrated police anti-hate-crime force, which operates a victim information line at 1-800-563-0808 or 604-660-2617.
Prosecute man for Web posts, Senator urges. Senator Colin Kenny says a man under RCMP investigation for incitement and facilitating terrorism ought to be arrested and charged. Those familiar with Karol Madera and his habit of calling on al Qaeda to murder Americans have remarked that this matter bears a striking resemblance to Karol Madera's case, which has also been under investigation by RCMP. Mr. Kenny is a Liberal Senator, and the chairman of the Senate National Security and Defence Committee. CMS readers are urged to contact Senator Kenny in order to familiarize him with the Madera case.
Karol Madera, VE7KFM, interfered with multiple DX stations on 14275 kHz as he joked about his interference with David Tolassi, WA1BHV. Madera called his antics "CB radio at its finest." He told Tolassi they were on "Channel 19." Madera was also heard testing a tone generating device over top of many DX stations. Eventually he was forced to yield the frequency as literally dozens of stations called him a "loser" a "lid" and a "mental defective." Madera responded with his signature homoerotic obscenities, leaving the frequency the better for his absence. He repeated the performance the folling day and was once again met with jamming, catcalls, and noise making devices. This behavior has been more or less constant since 2005.
Meanwhile, the FCC has disciplined numerous Pirates and other law breakers who have encouraged VE7KFM's behavior. William F. Crowell (W6WBJ) a man Karol Madera calls "my good friend Bill" has received a Hearing Designation Order from the FCC. The Order states, in part, "The record before us indicates that Crowell has apparently willfully and repeatedly engaged in and continues to engage in unlawful Commission-related activities, including, but not limited to, intentionally causing interference and/or interruption, transmitting music and one-way communications, and using indecent language on amateur frequencies. Based on the information before us, we believe that Crowell’s apparent past and continuing course of misconduct raises a substantial and material question of fact as to whether he possesses the requisite character qualifications to be and remain a Commission licensee. Accordingly, we hereby designate his application for hearing."
Bill Crowell Case Heats Up: In the case of W6WBJ, on March 7, the FCC filed an objection to Crowell's first request for documents. The FCC called Crowell's document request "fatally flawed" and "procedurally defective" while simultaneously asking for the summary dismissal of the request.
On the same day, the FCC also filed a Motion for a prehearing conference, requesting an Order staying all discovery until the requested conference could be held and all issues raised in their Motion could be resolved. The FCC said Crowell has, in effect, filed over 300 interrogatories, the number and scope of which they called "excessive" and "outrageous." The Bureau estimates that upwards of 80% of Crowell's interrogatories are objectionable, because they are irrelevant, call for legal conclusions, and/or are in the nature of requests for admissions. The FCC had no objection to allowing Crowell to participate in a prehearing conference via speakerphone on April 2, 2008, but they opposed a blanket grant regarding future appearances. Read the documents here, here, here and here.
Many of Karol Madera's "good friends" have received Warnings from the FCC and/or other federal authorities. A January, 29, 2008 letter to Todd E. Daugherty of Taylorville, IL was sent in reply to Daugherty's response to an FCC Warning posted in October, 2007.
The FCC told Daugherty, "Your response to the Enforcement Bureau received on November 6, 2007 was insufficient and contradictory, and indicates a misunderstanding of the Part 15 power limits for unlicensed stations. For example, you stated that your power levels were in compliance with Part 15 of the Commission's rules, yet in statements made in 2006 and 2007 describing your shortwave station "Omega One" you stated that you were operating at 5 watts, then 10 watts and later 50 and 100 watts." The FCC went on to inform Daugherty that the penalty for violations of 18 U.S.C. S: 301 include monetary forfeiture (fine) or imprisonment, or both.
Another FCC letter went to Madera's friend Joseph F. Goldberg, MD of 153 Ocean Drive, Tavernier, FL. Dr. Goldberg, 62, illegally used the callsign EA1AET (among others) on 14.275 mHz. Calling himself 'The Pirate of the Caribbean,' Dr. Goldberg often spoke with Karol Madera of Saanich, BC, in violation of Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Section 301.
Violation of this federal law carries criminal penalties including monetary forfeiture (fine) and imprisonment. Monetary forfeitures normally range between $7,500 and $10,000. The FCC told Goldberg, "This is the last warning you will receive regarding such operation." We were unable to reach Dr. Goldberg for comment at his office at 91555 Overseas Hwy, Suite #3 Tavernier, FL.

Polish neonazi immigrant desecrates gravestones in Jewish cemetary. Mariusz Wdziekonski, a Polish immigrant who has been in the United States for four years, was involved in the neo-Nazi movement in Poland, police said. If convicted, Wdziekonski could face up to 10 years in prison for this hate crime.
The book Fear. Anti-Semitism in Poland after Auschwitz by Jan Tomasz Gross is an interesting examination of Polish anti-semitism after World War Two. We are certainly able to see this mechanism in action when we listen to the bigoted and anti-semitic recordings featuring Polish immigrant Karol Madera. Gross illustrates with eloquence and shocking detail that the anti-semitism did not cease when the war ended. “After all the millions dead, after the Nazi terror, a good many Poles still found it acceptable to hate the Jews among them. . . . The sorrows of history multiply: a necessary book.”

British Columbia seeks to deport Polish sex offender. The federal immigration minister finds this Vancouver man is too serious a risk to remain in Canada and must be deported because of a long history of rape, uttering threats, unlawful confinement, fraud and drug offences.
FLASHBACK:
Many listeners will no doubt recall Karol Madera's anti-semitic diatribes recorded by the Center for Media Studies. Madera is a Polish immigrant to Canada who has called on al Qaeda to murder Americans. Madera has often discussed Jews and other minorities in derogatory terms while beaming his signal toward the USA with a very powerful shortwave transmitter having an effective radiated power of 15,000 watts.
Recordings of Karol Madera appear to confirm his ties to Nazi ideology. Listeners report that Madera sounds exactly like a neonazi, whether discussing sterilization, euthanasia, eugenics, or engaging in hate speech in general.
More recordings of Madera's disgusting rhetoric can be found in our "recordings" section, which has a link at the top of our main page.
The strange saga of Karol Madera's good friend, Todd Daugherty, N9OGL, and his run-in with the FCC grows more bizarre by the day. Daugherty has threatened what might be interpreted as a denial of service attack against a federally protected computer system at the FCC. In a rambling, obscenity filled, public demand letter, Daugherty threatened to flood the FCC with email. Daugherty has also begun making physical threats against those commenting on his Blog. Daugherty wrote: "WHAT YOU FACE OR NEED IS ASS KICKING...TO PUT YOU BACK IN PLACE WHERE YOU FUCKING BELONG...ALONG WITH REMOVE OF YOUR FUCKING LICENSES.." At this time we recommend readers contact the Taylorville, IL police department to report these threats, at (217) 824-2211. We also recommend you contact abuse@consolidated.net to report threatening activity, apparently originating from Todd Daugherty's use of Consolidated services, possibly originating from ip address 216.176.86.87 which address Daugherty reports belongs to a neighbor, and not to Daugherty.
Daugherty previously reported he is using a neighbor's wi-fi account to access the Internet, since all of his previous ISP's were "taken away" thus depriving him of his "free speech." Again, the Internet account Daugherty uses may carry an ip address of 216.176.86.87 owned by Consolidated Communications Incorporated.
It is unknown whether or not Daugherty is paying for this service or "borrowing it" from a neighbor, as stated in his Blog. As reported previously, The FCC said it had evidence that Daugherty has engaged in apparent violations of 47 CFR Part 97 rules, and the FCC recently issued a Warning Notice and request for information to Daugherty. Further enforcement actions are expected in this matter.
Gordon Benjamin and others were warned about personal attacks, bickering, name calling, and other nonsense on a popular internet chat board which led to many complaints. Hopefully Benjamin will refrain from such behavior in the future. Thank you for your email on the subject. If the matter arises again, we will consider posting all of your email on a separate page, including all of Benjamin's personal attacks against multiple individuals, including Gerry Saelens, Bob Harrison, Connie Marshall, Charles O'Neal, Dan Jeswald, QRZ moderators, and numerous others.
According to recent communications intercepts, Karol Madera, VE7KFM has reported that his good friend Dr. Joe Goldberg has been exposed as the radio pirate known as EA1AET. Goldberg, a resident of Tavernier, FL has apparently been using the call illegally for a number of years, and until recently, he was able to fly under FCC radar without being noticed.
That is, until Goldberg befriended Karol Madera, VE7KFM. As previously reported, Goldberg has been recorded illegally identifying himself as EA1AET, KZ8O, ND8V, and others on 14.275 (see the archive section) as well as interfering with legitimate and legal operations while acting as the straight man for Madera's circus act on 14.275.
To his credit, "Dr. Joe" never used vulgarities; he discouraged Madera's affiliation with al Qaeda, and he occasionally chastised Madera for calling on al Qaeda to murder Americans. Nevertheless, piracy is illegal, and Dr. Joe, Pirate of the Caribbean, is expected to contact the FCC to make a $5,000 voluntary contribution to the US Treasury, and to permanently swear off radio piracy in the future in order to put the affair well and truly behind him.
Dr. Joe Goldberg is, in fact, the 4th pirate known to be affiliated with Karol F. Madera of Saanich, British Columbia. Several individuals associated with Karol Madera were recently contacted by the FCC regarding piracy. Among them, Todd Daugherty, a self admitted pirate, was recently warned about his operation on 13.556 mHz and other frequencies; David Castle who was warned by the FCC on January 9th, and; Brandon Duke who was warned about piracy in 2007, prior to his incarceration by the State of Colorado.
Meanwhile, Karol Madera's good friend, Todd Daugherty (N9OGL) would like to send a message to the FCC. Daugherty received a warning letter for the illegal operation of a radio station on 13.556 and 6.950, among other frequencies. Daugherty told the FCC he built his own transmitter and operated according to part 15 rules, however, Daugherty's previous statements about the actual power output of his station cast considerable doubt on the truthfulness of Daugherty's response to the FCC.
Karol Madera's good friend David Castle, the former WA9KJI, received a Warning from the FCC about unlicensed operation and interference. Castle, now apparently a radio pirate, lost his FCC license permanently following his failure to schedule an appearance before an Administrative Law Judge to answer numerous allegations of illegal operation. Karol Madera previously urged Castle to physically assault federal Agent Riley Hollingsworth, but Castle wisely ignored Madera's advice.
CMS readers will recall that Madera threatened the US Ambassador to Canada with physical violence. That act brought Madera to the attention of CSIS, RCMP, FBI, and the US State Department's Diplomatic Protection Service. Canada failed to take action against Madera in 2005, and since that time Madera has become familiar to thousands for his disgusting, homosexually oriented tirades, his affiliation with al Qaeda, and his numerous threats on 14.275 mHz.
Regarding Madera's good friend David Castle: On January 9, 2008, the FCC told Castle, "You have no authority to operate Amateur radio transmitting equipment on any frequency. Such operation is a violation of Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Section 301, and carries criminal penalties including monetary forfeiture (fine) and prison. Monetary forfeitures normally range from $7,500 to $10,000."
On January 12, 2008, Karol Madera (VE7KFM) delivered a lengthy educational lecture on the topic of fellatio. He was attended by his friends David Tolassi (WA1BHV) and Whitney Tritch (N3ZV). Readers may remember Tritch as the man who was banned from a popular internet site after he stole an elderly mans callsign. Tritch stole the other man's ID in order to post supportive messages regarding his friend Karol Madera. He was cautioned by the US Attorney regarding this incident.
David Tolassi is an amateur who was asked to retest by the FCC. Tolassi formerly held an Advanced class license. He is now a General class licensee. According to numerous reports, Tolassi threatened to murder federal Agent Riley Hollingsworth and Brian Crow. Tolassi also threatened to mail Crow a box of tarantulas. Tolassi recently reported that he was visited by the FBI and the Vermont Sheriff's department. Further enforcement action is widely expected following completion of the investigation involving David Tolassi.
Gordon Benjamin (N6WK) engaged in his typical weekend rant on a popular internet site. As usual, these conversations take place during the cocktail hour on the west coast and nothing of substance was discussed. However, we did learn that Gordon calls Riley Hollingsworth when he receives annoyance calls and finds objectionable material on the internet.
We didn't realize Mr. Hollingsworth would respond to calls such as this, but it's good information to keep on hand. Next time our garbage disposal goes on the blink, or we see a cat caught in a nearby tree, we at CMS will also consider calling Mr. Hollingsworth.
Other users of the forum responded in typical fashion, suggesting Gordon Benjamin (N6WK) is paranoid, a looney, a tinfoil hat wearer, a mindless zombie for ve7kfm, and a possible victim of lead poisoning. For his part, Benjamin responded with ungrammatical, nonsensical repartee, and personal attacks.
In other news, Karol Madera's good friend Todd Daugherty has challenged the FCC to a duel. This, over the FCC's Warning Notice and Request for Information about Daugherty's short wave broadcast station, Omega One Radio.
The following is an exerpt from Daugherty's response to the FCC's Warning Notice and Letter of Inquiry: "If you wish to proceed to go after me for a lower radio station under Part 15, then go for it! So here’s a suggestion either consider my waivers and applications or dismiss this, because I will fight it!"
An analysis of Daugherty's response indicates he has failed to answer questions in the FCC's letter, omitting the actual power output used by his station, Omega One, and referring instead to part 15 regulations regarding field strength. Daugherty also failed to specify dates and times of operation, which were required by the FCC.
Daugherty told the FCC that he was using a "homebuilt radio from an assortment of radio parts." Apparently, Daugherty's radio was able to transmit on both lower and upper sideband. Daugherty told the FCC his station began in August 2006, however, the Center for Media Studies has discovered information which directly contradicts Daugherty's response to the FCC, and the contradictory information was apparently written by Daugherty himself.
On a pirate radio bulletin board, Daugherty announced to his pirate peers that his station was on the air in July, 2006, on both LSB and USB. In the same post (July 2006) Daugherty said he was also operating on 6.950, which he also failed to disclose to the FCC.
On August 19, 2006, on the pirate bulletin board, Captain Bohemian, questioned Daugherty's truthfulness when he referred to Daugherty's station, saying "it looks like omega one has a strong signal into wv for the better part of the day...I fail to believe this is coming in from a legit part 15 tx....I don't know why this bothers me, perhaps I'm just tired of people who try to feed me ****."
Daugherty told the FCC he was using a dipole cut for 13.556 at three feet above the ground, and running according to part 15 power regulations (a formula that translates into less than 4.5 milliwatts into a half wave dipole) but Daugherty told fellow pirates he was using a sloper, 30 feet above the ground, with 100 watts output.
Some experimental beacons can be heard in the 13.553 to 13.567 MHz band, running either CW or QRSS (very slow CW). The 7.5 milliwatt EIRP limit corresponds roughly to 4.5 milliwatts into a half-wave dipole. On August 22, 2006, Daugherty told fellow pirates, "Were running 100 watts, but at 17.5 meters (which is below the 30 meter requirement are signal is only 2,000 uV. what the people are hearing in the other states is all audio. the audio at the station is what is giving the station the distance not the power." If Daugherty was using 100 watts into a half wave dipole, as he said he was, then he was using more than 99 watts over the legal limit for a typical 13.556 mHz station run in a legal manner under part 15 FCC regulations. [Daugherty's spelling, grammar, and technical errors are as copied from the original]
Daugherty's problems with the FCC are far from over. He has apparently failed to answer completely and truthfully, which in itself is a violation of of the Commission's rules. Daugherty was advised in a letter from the FCC, that knowingly and willfully making any false statement or concealing any material fact in reply to the inquiry is punishable by fine or imprisonment under 18 U.S.C. S: 1001; and 47 C.F.R. S: 1.17.
Daugherty was also advised that failure to respond appropriately to the letter of inquiry would constitute a violation of the Communications Act and the Commission's rules.
In a separate matter, not yet a matter of FCC inquiry, Daugherty was recorded on 14.275 mHz referring to his fellow amateurs as "fucking cocksuckers," saying, "fuck you up the ass with a fucking razor laced dildo, you fucking pricks".
As noted, the FCC has not yet contacted Daugherty regarding his obscene and indecent language on 14.275 mHz; nor has the FCC contacted him regarding his own prior admissions, which he failed to include in his sworn response to the FCC under penalty of perjury. Daugherty's admissions were that he used 100 watts on 13.556 and 6.950 mHz and 50 watts output power on 27.185 (channel 19) in the Citizens Band radio service.
Finally, Daugherty has engaged in defaming his fellow amateurs and FCC Special Counsel, Riley Hollingsworth, which, along with other items under consideration by the FCC, might be considered a character issue and a primary indication that Daugherty lacks the requisite character required to hold an FCC license.
Sadly, Karol Madera's good friend, Todd Daugherty has reacted to his FCC Warning Notice in an extremely immature and unbalanced manner, which is highly reminiscent of his Canadian mentor. At his Blog, Daugherty has severely defamed Special Counsel Hollingsworth and alleged complainants. We leave you, the reader, to ponder Daugherty's character, as you peruse these excerpts from Todd E. Daugherty's Blog...
"THE QUEEN BITCH OF ALL W. RILEY HOLLINGSWORTH... BECAUSE THEIR FUCKING SLEEZY ASS WIFES WITH THEIR SNAGGY ASS PUSSY DOESN'T WANT TO GO NEAR THOSE FAT FUCKS, SO THE ONLY PUSSY THEY EVER GET IS FROM FUCKING THE NEIGHBOR SHEEP...HELL THOSE CLUSTER FUCKS, PROBABLY HAVE TO HAVE RILEY SHOW THEM HOW TO DO IT..WE ALL KNOW HE SURE AS HELL COULDN'T OF FUCKING READ TO THEM HOW TO FUCK SHEEP, BECAUSE THAT STUPID FUCK DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FUCKING READ!! HERE YOU HAVE A STUPID FUCK WHO FUCKING CAN'T READ HIS OWN GOD DAM RULES... THAT FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT RILEY SHOULD BE FIRED FOR BEING STUIPID, FOR NOT READING, AND SITTING ON HIS LAZY ASS ... HEY RILEY YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT...WHERE'S MY FUCKING NAL SO WE CAN GO TO COURT AND I CAN SHOW THE COURT HOW INCOMPENTENT YOU REALLY ARE. YOU'VE PROVEN TO BE THAT YOU CAN'T READ, AND YOU DON'T LIKE FREE SPEECH AND YOU ENDORSE SCUMBAGS... TO SUPRESS FREE SPEECH BOTH ON THE INTERNET AND ON THE RADIO."
Whitney Tritch, another good friend of Karol Madera's, spent the two days prior to the New Year talking to Madera on 14.275 mHz. Tritch finally seems to realize his bogus complaints to various organizations have fallen on deaf ears and it seems he now intends to spend his free time supporting Karol Madera on the air. Readers may remember Whitney Tritch as the man who turned himself in to the US Attorney for committing a US Code, Title 18 violation. Tritch admitted to the world that he stole an ill and elderly man's identity in order to post online defamation.
Terry, K7FE, a keen-eyed administrator at qrz.com, discovered Tritch's computer intrusion and theft of the identity of Robert Cheek, of Pittsburgh, PA. For that offense, Tritch reported that he had been banned from that website until 2008. The US Attorney's office told Tritch that he must refrain from engaging in such violations in the future [under penalty of prosecution, fine, and imprisonment related to USC, Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 47, subsection 1030(6)(A) pertaining to fraud and false statements, which may also be considered 'character issues' under 47CFR part 97 related to retention of an FCC license].
In an amusing conclusion to an ongoing circus sideshow, various readers report Gordon Benjamin (N6WK) has been back-pedaling on a popular internet site, where he now states he does not support VE7KFM at all. Benjamin finally admitted he received nasty, profanity filled email from Karol Madera, yet he hasn't been as forthcoming about the extent of his communications with Madera. For unknown reasons, Benjamin still seems obsessively focused on defaming Brian Crow, whom Benjamin blames for the factual information on this page. However, Crow does not own this website, and Benjamin's continual rants, which take place during the cocktail hour on the west coast, make Benjamin appear almost as ridiculous as his Canadian mentor, who is only slightly more consumed by thoughts of Brian Crow.
Avid readers may remember Gordon Benjamin's endless and tiresome repetition of Karol Madera's defamation throughout 2007. Benjamin's defamation remains on Madera's web pages, but it was scoured from every responsible online publication. Hopefully, Gordon Benjamin will be able to work out his dispute with various members of the FMT fellowship, whose members accused Benjamin of interference and harassment. Numerous individuals familiar with Benjamin have stated that he has exhibited paranoia and a lack of respect for others.

We also wish a Happy New Year to Joe Goldberg, Gordon Benjamin, Whitney Tritch, Ed Oswald, Don Anderson, Chet Tylkowski, Claude Plymale, Doug Gerry, Joe Italiano, Glenn Baxter, Dave Tolassi, David Castle, Brandon Duke, Todd Daugherty, George Zardecki, Antoni Zarski, Chrystian Moszyck, and all present and past friends of Karol Madera. May you have an enjoyable 2008 as you ponder what the future holds in store for each of you.
These days, the term "useful idiots" is used to describe naive or easily led people who are manipulated by a political movement, terrorist group, individual, or hostile government. Madera has, at any given time, one or two handfuls of useful idiots at his disposal. We don't count anonymous comments because we believe most, if not all, were written by Madera and one or two others. Most times the "quotes" are prearranged opportunities to comment on public sites that are then harvested (out of context) by Madera and published on his page. Usually the topics do not go according to plan. Like this one, seen recently...
Topic: "Someone parks outside your home" (and snaps pics of your half rotted volvo)
Quote: K1KW
"Actually, in the particular case the originator of this thead is alluding to, it is an EXCELLENT idea.
We MUST keep track of terrorists and it looks like a good job is being done, and more is in order. Stay tuned.
Where are the Canadian authorities when they have a terrorist, a serial radio jammer, and a pedophile under their noses? .....and do NOTHING!!!!
Now you know the rest of the story."
The few, out of context, defamatory statements, which Madera calls "hundreds of testimonials" only exist on Madera's little read web page. The reason for this is because responsible online providers routinely delete these statements as they appear in other forums. Why do responsible providers repeatedly delete statements hosted by Madera? Simple: Madera's associates have engaged in identity theft in order to post his defamation. In other instances, Madera's defamation has been proven time and time again to be false. Madera's comments and the comments posted by his useful idiots regularly disappear because they have no basis in fact, e.g., they are demonstrably false and defamatory.
We call them lies, which is easier to remember than demonstrably false and defamatory, but, semantics aside, responsible individuals and organizations know that when Madera moves his lips, he's lying. The same principle holds when he writes on the Internet. The truth is, Madera is enraged and impotent, and he has been reduced to engaging in rambling, obscene, drunken tirades on the air, and writing indecent hand written cardboard signs which he hangs on his house. He has been exposed as a disheveled lunatic and a failure. One federal official summed it up nicely, calling Madera a fruitcake, and his associates "nutjobs and whackos."
Because Madera often broadcasts three times a week, for hours at a time, it's been easy for him to locate the naive and easily led to carry on his malicious agenda. Here in our archive section, you'll find details about the individuals Madera uses to promote his malicious agenda. Here's a thumbnail sketch of some of Madera's past and present useful idiots.
We are sad to report it's happened again. Gordon Benjamin (N6WK) has made himself an object of extreme ridicule, all due to his unflagging support for the Canadian whom the US government calls a fruitcake. We will report more on the remarkably paranoid and delusional rants seen on the world wide web as the week progresses...
Gordon "The Troll" Benjamin authored a post on December 10th. Benjamin immediately began to whine like a 3 year old, deprived of her Barbie Doll when the post was removed in order to delete countless personal attacks, some apparently aimed at Gordon Benjamin's tenous grip on sanity.
Benjamin (N6WK) specializes in uninformed defamation and attack posts. On a previous occasion, he invented a thread about a theoretical stalker taking pictures of his house and family. Following the thread's disappearance, Benjamin appeared to become highly agitated and paranoid, lashing out at moderators, suggesting a conspiracy had taken place.
Benjamin's queer statements are routinely deleted because his defamatory delusions bear no resemblance to the truth. Nevertheless, his childish rants continue to amuse us as examples of the depths to which this lunatic crew will descend.
READER COMMENT: "Gordon's as slippery as a greased teflon snake. I used to take his BS at face value until I learned every interaction is an attempt for him to shill for the moron in Canaduh. Beware, he's a world-class liar. I wouldn't put it past him to frame someone for taking pictures of his house or some other nonsense. I can smell that one a mile away. By the way, I just made a donation to your site. It's refreshing to see these scumbags jailed and or put off the air and the internet." -Chuck
Speaking of useful idiots, see this lucid commentary about Madera's latest useful idiot, Mark.
Here are the others:
Gordon - "Mr. Road Rage." His defamation is routinely deleted, again, and again. Our thanks to some of the frequency measurement aficionados who have revealed Gordon's history of interference and harassment.
Donny - Convicted for possession of nine pounds of marijuana. We suspect he smoked the other nine pounds... at least.
Ed - Defamation deleted, banned, dismissed.
Joe - Defamation deleted, banned, dismissed.
Whitney - Defamation deleted, banned, dismissed.
Brandon - Defamation deleted. Currently in jail.
Todd - Warned by FCC about piracy; universally reviled for uploading images of virtual children in sexual situations.
Glenn - Well publicized $21,000 fine, to be collected...
David - Federal action pending regarding multiple murder threats.
Mark - Self admitted mental issues; typical false accusations sponsored by "the fruitcake" in question.
Hopefully, you'll see the many similarities among the individuals we've named above. If you want to retain your credibility, we suggest you avoid quoting Karol Madera, or you too could find yourself on the 'useful idiot' list. For futher reading The Razor features an interesting article on the concept of useful idiots in politics and otherwise.
Meanwhile, the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia has warned Karol Madera's friend, Whitney Tritch, N3ZV, that further illegal acts may subject him to arrest, fine, and/or imprisonment. Tritch turned himself in and admitted violations of US Code, Title 18, after it was discovered that he had obtained access to a computer system by using a fraudulent password in order to pose as an elderly Pennsylvania man. Hopefully Tritch has learned his lesson. If there is a next time, his victims have promised to push for criminal charges.
Karol Madera's good friend and self admitted Pirate Broadcaster, Todd Daugherty was in the news recently. Ragnar Daneskjold, Editor of Pirate's Week, had this to say: "Anime is not my thing, pedophilia anime is definitely wrong. I dislike anybody facing prosecution for radio activities. Those individuals who are far outside societies norms in other aspects of their lives typically bring the attention of the authorities for one reason or another. In other words, Karma's a bitch." And here is an excerpt from the Free Radio Network (quoting This Week in Amateur Radio) about Todd Daugherty's pirate bust.
F L A S H B A C K: The killer in the Nebraska mall mass murder on December 5, 2007 reportedly used an SKS rifle. Center for Media Studies readers may recall that Karol Madera's friend, David J. Tolassi of Barre Vermont, referred to an SKS rifle in the summer of 2007. Tolassi told listeners that he was going to "pay a visit" to Brian Crow and Tolassi mentioned an SKS rifle during the exchange. Previously, Tolassi had said he was going to mail venomous spiders to Crow, and have a contract taken out on him, and it has been widely reported that Tolassi said he planned to murder FCC Special Counsel, Riley Hollingsworth and Brian Crow at the 2008 Dayton amateur radio convention. Tolassi's violent rhetoric increased following a visit he said he made to Karol Madera in the summer of 2007. Tolassi is currently under investigation by the FCC, the FBI, and the Vermont Sheriff's Department.
Karol Madera & company have ventured beyond all boundaries of common decency in order to attempt to defame complainants against them. However, in this week's Special Editorial, we report on Madera's malicious efforts at defamation and why past, present, and future attempts at defamation have, and will continue to fail!
Madera was heard on Thanksgiving Day repeatedly discussing oral and anal sex with other men. Presumably he has a lot to be thankful for. Madera was referred to as a fruitcake by the Special Counsel for FCC Enforcement at the world's largest radio convention this year, and he continues to live up to his nickname.
Last week's breaking news put the spotlight on two of Karol Madera's good friends. Our first story featured Brandon Duke, KD0BSH (formerly KC0UWS). Duke is scheduled to be out of prison in December, 2007 and he's expected to be on probation for the following two years. Brandon Duke received a letter from the FCC which indicates that in order to resolve enforcement issues against his license, the FCC has allowed him to take 'time off' from Amateur Radio for the period of one year, retroactive to July, 1, 2007. If Duke operates Amateur Radio transmitting equipment at any time during this cooling off period, he will be subject to enforcement action, which may include revocation and fines ranging from $7,500~$10,000.
Meanwhile, Todd Daugherty, (N9OGL) another man firmly behind Karol Madera, has received an FCC WARNING NOTICE and Request for Information, dated October 16, 2007. Madera (not a lawyer) counseled Daugherty to ignore the letter. The FCC has alleged that Daugherty engaged in radio piracy on 6950 and 13556 kHZ.
A third friend of Madera's, David Castle, the former WA9KJI, has already lost his FCC license for failing to file an appearance for his Hearing to discuss alleged slander, interference, harassment, and criminality, among other things.
And speaking of slander, harassment, and criminality, a fourth friend of Karol Madera's, David J. Tolassi (WA1BHV) has reported that he was investigated by the FBI and Vermont Sheriff's Department. Radio enthusiasts anticipate action by the FCC (and other agencies) against Tolassi following a widely reported threat to murder two individuals targeted by Karol Madera. At a minimum, it is expected Tolassi will lose his FCC license as a result of his threats and ongoing harassment.
Gordon Benjamin (N6WK) who has conversed with Karol Madera on numerous occasions, continues to support his friend Karol Madera by posting malicious comments online. Gordon Benjamin's comments are usually removed from responsible forums due to their defamatory nature, but his comments quickly reappear on Madera's obscene website, practically in real time. Madera and Gordon are birds of a feather who both have reputations for playing fast and loose with the truth. Like Madera, Benjamin has been reported as the instigator of interfer
