Tom Whatley, N1FM, Busts Another Fraud and Grand Theft Ring
The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports Senior Delray Detective Tom Whatley has busted yet another alleged fraud and grand-theft ringleader in Delray Beach. In 2003, Whatley was awarded the prestigious Distinguished Law Officer of the Year award by The Palm Beach Post. In 2007, Delray Beach citizens presented Whatley with a $500 check and gave him their Officer of the Year award.
Whatley is well known for his arrests of two priests who allegedly scammed parishioners out of 8.6 million in cash in late 2006, according to the LA Times. TIME magazine in 2007 called the scandal possibly "the worst known case of embezzlement in U.S. Catholicism" and it renewed calls across the country for more fiscal accountability within the church.
Whatley, pictured here with John Walsh of America's Most Wanted, was honored by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. As a further result of his exemplary work on behalf of America's children, Whatley was featured on CNN after he reopened a cold case and recovered a missing girl in Hawaii who had been previously kidnapped. Whatley cut through bureaucratic red tape and made sure the missing youngster was promptly returned to her home in Florida.
Tom Whatley was named "Officer of the Month" in September, 2007. In October, 2008, Whatley received further accolades from the highest echelons of the Delray Beach Police Department, who called his service "outstanding" and "well beyond the call of duty".
For most of the past year, Karol Madera has claimed he was "instrumental in getting Tom Whatley fired from his job." Madera made similar, ridiculous claims, about Riley Hollingsworth at the FCC. In both cases, nothing could be further from the truth. Madera was so enraged by Whatley's close association with the RCMP in regard to Madera's numerous threats against US public officials, that Madera actually told Whatley he hoped he would be murdered in the line of duty.
In typical fashion, Whatley laughingly disregarded Madera's racist and violent remarks, including numerous disgusting remarks Madera made about Whatley's wife. Tom Whatley said, "What was it Riley called him, fruitcake, wasn't it? I have to say, I agree with the FCC Special Counsel, whole heartedly!"
Karol Madera is a well known fraud, and liar, who routinely defames anyone who has made complaints about his slander and libel and the operation of his station. Madera wrote baseless, fraudulent letters to the FCC and others, and he referenced digitally edited and altered tape recordings in letters to the Delray Police Department. Madera's malicious communications were promptly disregarded and soundly ridiculed by Whatley's superiors, and the FCC, who referred to Madera as a "fruitcake" and a "very poor operator" who is "several fries short of a Happy Meal."
Madera followed his fraudulent letter writing charade by influencing the notorious Mark Morgan, KB9RQZ, to contact the Children's Bureau in Florida, with untrue and scurrilous allegations about the Detective (and six others in various states) whom Madera has also repeatedly defamed.
All of Madera & company's allegations were proven to be completely unfounded. Despite the best efforts of Karol Madera, and his discredited and unsavory partners in crime (Tolassi, Morgan, Daugherty) and a few other mentally deficient undesirables, Detective Whatley retires at the end of November, 2008 with the thanks of his peers, bonus payments, and a generous, full pension. After 20+ years of service to his community, Tom plans to spend more time on the 20 meter band, beginning in December. Good luck Tom and we look forward to hearing your booming signal on the air more often!
Mark Morgan Continues Malicious Spam Campaign
Despite being banned and/or ejected from every organization and respectable Internet forum we can think of, Mark C. Morgan (KB9RQZ) of 17366 North River Road, Chassell, Michigan, continues to post malicious spam on lesser known radio forums, despite being asked on numerous occasions, to cease and desist. Karol Madera calls Morgan a good friend, while Morgan refers to Madera as his "ally." Approximately one year ago, Morgan made malicious and false reports to children's protective services around the country, against numerous individuals, at the urging of Karol Madera. Morgan was overwhelmingly voted out and ejected from the CCRAA radio club in Michigan by a margin of 11:1, earlier this year.
In a related story, Morgan's partner Gavrielah Hojnacki, KD8CTL, is to be contacted by the President of the CCRAA about items and property belonging to the CCRAA radio club, which should have been promptly returned when she left office. Hojnacki departed office at the same time her partner, Mark Morgan, was precipitously voted out of that club. Although there has been some speculation that Morgan and Hojnacki have been implicated in the theft of unknown items and property belonging to the club, those allegations remain unproven, at the present time.
RAC President Dave Goodwin VO1AU/VE3AAQ ponders taking over administration of amateur radio service.... "There is no shortage of grumbling among Amateurs about the resources Industry Canada devotes to our interests. Well, if we think we’re so smart — and if we think we know what’s best for us, let us take on the job of administering ourselves. Let IC set the rules — they are the authority after all — but let us undertake the initiatives to make sure that the administrative side is handled in a way that meets our needs... Could we do a better job than IC? Perhaps not, but at least we would be more sensitive to our collective interests."
Many Canadian amateurs have made numerous complaints to Industry Canada regarding Karol Madera's misuse of the airwaves. Nearly all complainants have discussed Jim Laursen's lackadaisical performance and attitude regarding their legitimate concerns. A petition to IC to have Laursen removed and/or sued for failure to perform is said to be presently in the works. We will have more news as events proceed.
Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH, Appointed Assistant Director:
On October 25, ARRL Atlantic Division Director Bill Edgar, N3LLR, announced that he had appointed Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH, former Special Counsel for the Spectrum Enforcement Division of the FCC's Enforcement Bureau, an Assistant Director for the Atlantic Division; Hollingsworth retired from the FCC earlier this year.
Poland's foreign secretary apparently agrees with Karol Madera, who recently referred to Barack Obama as a "nigger" and a "voodoo reasoning jigaboo." Madera has opined in similar fashion about Condoleeza Rice, and other African-Americans, including African American radio amateurs.
This kind of speech is considered 'hate propaganda' under Canadian law, and Canadians are advised to report this type of speech to the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Noted Canadian human rights attorney, Richard Warman, has volunteered to help Canadian's perfect complaints to the Commission in this regard. Last year, Madera warned B'nai Brith that they should not visit him because he had weapons in the house. His comments came shortly after a complaint was made to B'nai Brith regarding Madera's ongoing anti-semitic commentary on the air.
Madera has also advocated "lobotomies, eugenics, castration, and euthanasia" against "American mental defectives" which seems to be yet another another example of hate propaganda against an identifiable group.
Another Interesting Karol Madera Related Video Spotted on YouTube
Madera freely admits the FCC dubbed him 'the bad Canadian', and he promised to make good on his nickname. He also revisited previous statements regarding the 9/11 terrorist attacks, pontificating at length about "brave" al Qaida hijackers. Madera also (again) branded himself as a terrorist sympathizer when he promised al Qaida would get aid and comfort once propagation improves.
Madera also had a few comments about the US government and the Obama Presidency, referring to Obama as a "nigger" and a "voodoo reasoning jigaboo," and mentioning that he would like to meet Michelle Obama, to give her "some of his Polish sausage."
Serious Doubts About Karol Madera's So-Called Military Career
Several men associated with the US and Canadian military have questioned the truthfulness of Karol Madera's numerous and conflicting accounts of his so-called military career. Canadians have questioned Madera's lack of a Canadian Forces Decoration, which is given to those who honorably served Canada's military for at least 12 years.
In addition, Madera told his friend, Whitney Tritch, who is a known military fraud about a crime he committed whilst in the Canadian Forces. Madera misrepresented himself to a superior officer and his military peers, awarding himself "several ranks" above his actual rank.
However, Madera also says he served an "unprecedented" 3 tours of duty in the UN Emergency Force in the Middle East. Yet, curiously, he is not in possession of the UNEFME medal he would have received for such service.
Obviously, submarine hunting on a Destroyer in the North Atlantic is very different from serving as base librarian in the middle east, which is also a duty Madera said he performed.
Although Madera has tried to pass himself off as "someone trained in the law," we know via court records, communication with the British Columbia Law Society, (and Madera's own accounts) that Madera is not a lawyer.
Nor is he a real estate agent. He is, in fact, a liar and a fraud. He was not admitted to British Columbia's Law Society, and he was locked out of the Victoria Real Estate Board in connection with allegations of a bizarre homosexual conspiracy. When Madera lost a lawsuit against the VREB concerning those allegations, Madera accused presiding Judge, Keith Bracken (Now a Chief Justice) of being "bought off, or sucked off, in chambers."
Interestingly, Madera has also exposed (on his own page and on the air) his complete ignorance of naval surface weapons systems, in use for some 30 years. He failed to demonstrate knowledge regarding upgrades to a well known version of the U.S. Navy's celebrated Phalanx CIWS system which is installed on both Canadian Destroyers patrolling the North Atlantic.
For someone who claims to have served aboard a Destroyer "hunting Red Octobers," Madera reveals an astounding ignorance of naval weapons systems; the purpose of second source contracts; and the evolving nature of naval weaponry, in general.
Although Madera says he served aboard a Destroyer in the North Atlantic, he is apparently not even conversant with weapons systems on Canadian Destroyers, and there is no record of Madera having served aboard either the Iroquois or the Athabaskan, the only two Destroyers in the Canadian Navy to ply the waters of the North Atlantic in anti-submarine duty during the period Madera claims to have served.
We, at the Center for Media Studies, believe that questioning Madera's honesty is an exercise in redundancy and futility, since, as previously mentioned, it is an established fact that Karol Madera is both a fraud, and a liar.
Pedophiles and Karol Madera
In a discussion about radio pirates recently, Eric Nichols made reference to someone who is "a known pedophile and proud of it." Nichol's statement is generally believed to be in reference to Karol Madera, VE7KFM. Nichols is the latest celebrated author and engineer to opine on the topic in question.
From a U.S. perspective, Nichols is absolutely correct. Madera has often been heard inquiring about having sexual congress with children. Since Madera is over 60 years old, his own statements place him firmly in the pedophile class in every state in the Union. Visit our archive section to read what the FCC Special Counsel said about Madera, and what Bill Sabin, author of what is considered the Bible of discrete-time and discrete-frequency signal analysis and design, had to say about Madera, just a few weeks ago.
Ryan Jairam, N2RJ, rendered an opinon about Karol Madera recently, calling him a "mentally defective idiot." Jairam is in good company. Hundreds, if not thousands of similar opinions have appeared in print about Madera since 2005. Jairam has been the victim of Madera's racial bigotry, on the air and in print, on Madera's discredited and foolish web page. Ryan Jairam is a respected member of SKCC, FISTS, WWYC, ARRL, TAPR, RMARC, NJDXA, and FRC. He is also QSL manager for KC2OYY, 2E0PLA, M1LMO M0RAJ, 9Y4RAJ, 9Y4PCS, and K3UK. Jairam also holds the call 9Y4RAJ, from the island of Trinidad.
Occasionally we publish mail from readers. This one is typical of the type of mail we receive about Karol Madera, VE7KFM. On August 21, 2008, Dick Russo from Staten Island wrote about Madera's rampant rules violations on 14.275 megahertz:
"After reviewing a webpage dedicated to this moron's antics and seeing pictures of how this filthy pig lives, I now pity him. He is a dirtbag who cant even take out a hose and bother with a can of paint to spruce up that rat infested cabin he calls a home. His Volvo is laced with tetanus causing rust tumors and with any luck the out house this guy lives in will fall in over his head and that will be that. Give him the credit he is due, he is a filthy animal who is too lazy to keep his home in order, but would rather sit by his crusty old mic and yell silly comments over the air.
Someone should hand him a bucket, a bar of soap for bathing, and a job in McDonalds as he is not worth anyone's time. Nor should he have a website dedicated to himself. He is obviously lonely and with any luck, he will find a beam that's not rotted, in that slum he calls home, and hang himself from it."
October 22, 2008 - Madera Jams Airwaves With Smut
Karol Madera spent much of the evening jamming legitimate communications with harmful interference, as defined by FCC 47CFR Part 97.3(23). Madera made use of his radio station by broadcasting a very distorted 18 minute tape recording with the words "fuck you" and "motherfucker" over and over again. It is unknown what else was in the tape recording because it was so distorted. Madera's upper sideband signal was 12 kilohertz wide, with 6 kilohertz of energy on the lower sideband. This according to a calibrated, lab grade, spectrum analyzer located near his transmission site.
When not playing his obscene tape recordings, Madera defamed several different people; degraded the Polish community who have abandoned him; called on al Qaida to murder U.S. citizens; and solicited homosexual intercourse from several different men. Madera was largely ignored. Other spectrum users disregarded his transmissions by talking over his transmissions. Madera's transmissions are regarded as "harmful interference" under U.S. rules and Madera's transmissions may therefore be legitimately and legally ignored.
Mark Morgan, KB9RQZ - Serious Allegations of Criminal Activities
Recently we reported Karol Madera's good friend Mark Morgan, KB9RQZ, was ejected from the CCRAA radio club and voted out by a ratio of 11:1. We now have more information regarding Morgan. On one well trafficked website, Morgan was recently accused of raping children as young as 8 yrs old. No word yet on criminal charges or civil cases regarding those accusations. However, Morgan is now listed as an "Internet Kook" by rationalwiki.com.
According to that website, "Morgan floods Usenet on a daily basis with hundreds of inane posts. Seems to believe that fictious individuals have commited crimes against him such as Stlaking [SIC] and Stack Babbing [SIC]."
Morgan apparently has a brain dysfunction that causes him to flood newsgroups with thousands of misspelled, poorly written, and inane posts. Morgan also regularly leaps to bizarre assumptions without the slightest evidence. Morgan has stated in writing that Karol Madera led him to conclusions that caused Morgan to lodge false complaints with child protective services against individuals Madera is obsessed with.
Morgan and Madera are currently involved in a kind of folie a deux and they share the management of at least two libelous websites about individuals with whom they share a mutual obsessive interest.

See our ODD section for some of the more bizarre pages and opinions about Madera.
Karol Madera attempts to retaliate against complainants by publishing a malicious, deceptive, and obscene web page in which he defames some 100 people who have filed complaints about his activities. Madera's slander, libel, and bizarre conspiracy theories about homosexual stalkers are completely baseless. His so-called 'testimonials' are fraudulent, augmented, altered, out of context misquotes, offered and/or fabricated by proven identity thieves, criminals, pedophiles, and a few notable dimwits.
Radio operators everywhere, please note: To date, no U.S. or Canadian amateur radio station has ever received legal sanctions for ignoring and talking over Karol Madera, VE7KFM, while otherwise adhering to U.S. and/or Canadian rules.
In fact, U.S. and Canadian officials have successfully ignored Karol Madera for years, and we are happy to report that interference to Karol Madera is not a violation of FCC rules. Under 47CFR97.3(23), "Harmful Interference" is defined as any communication that seriously degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radio communication service operating in accordance with the Radio Regulations.
Therefore, when Karol Madera, VE7KFM, calls on al Qaida to murder Americans; when he slanders others; when he uses indecent, obscene, and profane speech; when he transmits false distress signals; when he broadcasts solicitations for homosexual intercourse; and, when he engages in activities which degrade, obstruct, or interrupt legitimate communications, his transmissions may be classified as "harmful interference" under the FCC's Part 97 rules. Sources of harmful interference (like Karol Madera's transmissions) enjoy no protection under U.S. law.
Other Opinions:
There are literally thousands of negative comments about Karol Madera, VE7KFM, all over the internet, at dozens of different websites. Even the satirical Urban Dictionary featured a definition of VE7KFM.
Jim Laursen, Manager of Industry Canada's office on Vancouver Island, referred to Madera's comments as "stupid, mean spirited, and in poor taste." We'll have more of Laursen's comments as soon as his office stops stonewalling our freedom of information act request.
At a convention hosting approximately 20,000 people, FCC Special Counsel, Riley Hollingsworth, Esq., referred to Madera as a Fruitcake, perfectly capturing his apparent insanity and his latent and overt homosexual tendencies. Hollingsworth also mentioned that no one takes him seriously. He called Madera's behavior an international problem.
One of Madera's former colleagues, a female, called him a "horrible man who sent us the most disgusting, sexually oriented letters." Madera sued them, and lost.
An attorney who defeated Madera in court indicated that Madera was best ignored, since no one in his right mind would pay attention to anything Madera has to say.
Chief Justice McEachern, who presided over Madera's failed effort to gain entrance to the British Columbia Law Society, said, "Very full and complete particulars including the names of witnesses were given and original statements or affidavits were furnished. With respect to many of the particulars given by counsel for the Law Society the conduct to be inquired into was very specifically described." Madera was never allowed into the Law Society, and he failed in his bid to become a lawyer.
Karol Madera is a proven (and self-described) liar and fraud, as well as a bigot and racist who is closely associated with a criminal fringe element. Therefore, we believe posting a link to his defamatory webpage would represent a disservice to our readership and to the dozens libeled by Madera. However, as a matter of fairness, opposing viewpoints can be found at the webpages of Karol Madera's supporters, Todd Daugherty (N9OGL) and Mark Morgan (KB9RQZ).
Daugherty's Voice of Amateur Radio and Morgan's Kosher Ham blogs should give readers unique insight into the mindset of Madera's demented support group.
Make no mistake, we are in favor of free speech. However, we oppose the distribution of obscenity, threats, racism, slander, incitement of hatred, and support of terrorist doctrine currently emanating from Saanich, British Columbia. We are dedicated to exposing this malicious societal blight with the goal of motivating the Canadian government to attenuate or remove the perpetrator from the public airwaves.
