VE7KFM -- Credibility: Zero. Karol Madera has quoted no fewer than 50 different fictional characters on his web page, using their statements as 'unsolicited testimonials' in favor of his views.
Forums are fraudulently infiltrated by Madera's cohorts. His friends steal other people's identitites in order to post defamation about those Madera wishes to defame. (Whitney Tritch, N3ZV, was caught doing this in 2008). Madera then shamelessly quotes these bogus comments, as if they were posted real persons. We consider this the penultimate evidence of Madera's incredible desperation and unfailing dedication to fraud.
Madera has no credibility, therefore he has been reduced to twisting others statements, publishing stories by fictional persons in order to try to persuade careless readers into believing an endless parade of lies.
What do we mean by 'fictional characters?' Madera hosts quotations pulled from various radio and Internet forums which have been decisively proven to have been written by impostors and/or fictional characters. Dozens of statements on Madera's fraudulent pages were fabricated solely for the purpose of defamation.
All of the callsigns below were positively identified by system administrators to have been taken over by impostors, identity thieves, and/or callsign hijackers, who were then subsequently banned from posting -- and Karol Madera knows this -- yet in typically fraudulent fashion, he blithely quotes these statements as if they were genuine.
Here are just a few of the callsigns recently stolen, fabricated, or and fraudulently misused by Karol Madera:
VE2ZIB; N0VFP; VE9PMI; KB2SQP; KA1HOT; N9VTB; K0HWY; AA7BQ; KE5OBA; DL4IR; W4FQF; EA1AET.
Madera also quotes the following bogus sources: Official Observer; Publisher; QRZdotCOM; Brian's Owner; Willie; Tea Todeler; Jean LaCroix; Robw; Bean Picker; KKKarol; US Patriot; Mike95874; hamtourettes.com; NoMoreTrolls; zitazoid; Populist; EggnogChugaluger; Fox Smith; Leo Winter; RadioBob92121; PlankEye; QRZ.com insider; and dozens of others others.
In addition to using fraudulent sources, Madera also lists so-called 'Warning Letters' which Madera quoted as appearing on the ARRL website, which in fact, do not exist.
20 May ’02 last letter on page
25 Nov ’02 second-to-last on page
7 Apr ’03 two-thirds down page
31 Jan ’05 two-thirds down page
When challenged about the defective links on his page, which supposedly once pointed to the ARRL website, Madera includes the ARRL in his delusional conspiracies, calling the links "fraudulently misdirected."
When not quoting fictional sources, defaming innocents, and twisting unrelated statements to his purpose, Madera spends time fabricating fictitious and malicious tales, bearing no resemblence to reality. The verifiable statements on his page come from known criminals, pedophiles, frauds, dimwits, and former and current inmates. That's why we call Karol Madera, 'A World Class Liar.'
It should be noted that Madera also enjoys sending out unintentionally comedic, pseudo-legalistic, 'warning notices' about libel and slander to various and sundry individuals. Madera is not a lawyer. Interestingly, we have never received such a notice. Could it be that Karol Madera knows that the truth is an absolute defense to claims of libel?
Karol Madera recruits the naive, misfits, dimwits, criminals, pedophiles, and the easily misled. Some members of this motley crew have spent a great deal of time aiding and abetting Madera's malicous agenda.
Madera calls himself "Comandante Carlos" and the signature line on his webpage says "Viva Madero [reportedly a distant relation], Villa y Zapata. Viva la Revolucion!"
Madera is not Hispanic. Far from it. He is an immigrant from Poland. The surname Madera comes from a Lithuanian word which means, literally, "to flush" which stems from the days before indoor plumbing when social outcasts and their families were hired to muck out human waste from the gutters and streets. In England, some families adopted names like Weaver, Cooper, and Shepherd for similar reasons. However, "Madera" is a fitting name, and it describes a fitting heritage for Karol Madera.
Brandon Duke was a young criminal who served time in jail related to Internet fraud and theft. Madera recruited him, but like several others, who were used and then discarded, Brandon Duke now says he deeply regrets his past association with Karol Madera.
Madera also cultivated the friendship of Dr. Joseph Goldberg, who was recently Warned by the FCC about illegal use of radio frequencies that could result in a $10,000 fine.
Notorious jammer, David Castle, was another Madera recruit who recently lost his FCC license, permanently.
Donald Anderson was apprehended and arrested for the possession of nine pounds of marijuana with intent to distribute. He said he murdered children in Cambodia and once spent 3 days in an opium den. He is another good friend of Karol Madera and a regular correspondent.
Glenn Baxter, Madera's one-time radio co-host, was fined $21,000 for various infractions of Pat 97. The US Attorney is expected to sue Baxter for recovery of the fine. Baxter deserves a few lines on his own page and we're happy to oblige.
Mark Morgan, a self described ally of Madera, made false reports of child abuse to seven different jurisdictions against people who had made complaints in the Madera case.
Sidney Mahan deceased, is another Madera recruit who was cited by the FCC for extreme racism, obscenity, profanity, and jamming.
Whitney Tritch, N3ZV befriended Karol Madera. Tritch has repeated Madera's defamation for years, and he was warned by the US Attorney's office concerning illegal computer intrusion. This, following Tritch's illegal entry into a password protected computer system for the purpose of posting defamation. Tritch also lied about his military career, painting himself as a combat soldier who jumped out of aircraft 123 times, claiming 32 kills. Tritch has also claimed he was shot in the head while aboard on a submarine in enemy waters. Whitney Tritch is a fraud, and a liar, with a very active imagination.
Todd Daugherty was twice Warned by the FCC regarding his radio station operation. Daugherty was investigated by the FBI for making threats against a ten year old boy. Daugherty also says the FBI was very interested in his "art" collection. Madera has encouraged, aided, and mentored Todd Daugherty for more than a year.
David Tolassi, WA1BHV, is also a Madera recruit. He threatened to shoot the FCC Special Counsel for Amateur Enforcement, and another man, in the head with a pistol, at the 2007 Dayton Hamvention. In February, 2009, Tolassi again threatened property damage against a complainant in the Madera case. It is widely specualted that the FCC will take action against Tolassi's license, soon.
Brian Crow enraged Karol Madera when evidence provided by Crow resulted in Madera's associates being arrested and jailed. Any defamation about Brian Crow was placed on the Internet by Karol Madera and his criminal cohort. Now, let's review some of Karol Madera's outrageous lies and ridiculous fabrications.
A Case in Point
Madera hosts a webpage with a collection of lies, defamation, and harassment. He says this is his "first" webpage, which is "reactive" but, this is a lie, and very easy to disprove. Madera has 4 active webpages, and 3 webpages which have been removed. His current "main" page is hosted in Canada, where harassment by communications goes unnoticed by law enforcement. The 3 pages he attempted to host in the US, were removed by Yahoo, because they contained hate speech. Madera's first page, a loony snoozefest about a US federal official, remains hosted in Poland, where it's been online since 2003.
Many of Madera's pages, and much of his invective is aimed at Americans who made complaints about his threats. Madera's lies are particularly ironic because (below) you will hear Madera tell the story of how he (Madera) impersonated a field rank officer
On our recordings page, you can hear Madera advocate eugnenics, sterilization, euthanasia, lobotomies, and other notable Nazi principles and goals. On these pages, you'll also hear Madera discuss "hook nose, swarthy, cheap Jews" and "rabbi terrorists". Invariably, if Madera accuses another of a crime, it turns out to be true -- about MADERA.
Madera calls others childish and defamatory names, usually beginning with the label criminal. However, Madera provides no evidence, no links to official documents, no indictments, no court cases, no proofs, nothing whatsoever to support his bizarre rants. In point of fact, no one Madera has defamed has ever been found guilty of any wrongdoing, by any agency of law enforcement, anywhere.
In contrast, Karol Madera lives in a garage-like structure with faded and peeling paint. The only tangible testament to Madera's "success" in life is a rusty, rotting, mildew-covered, 30 year old automobile, parked near Madera's shack, which itself is precariously perched at the edge of a four lane highway. The shack is dominated by an antenna that overhangs his neighbor's property. Madera is not gainfully employed. He frequently engages in hours-long tirades, admittedly under the influence of alcohol. Madera was rejected in his bid to become a lawyer in Canada, and tossed out of the Victoria Real Estate Board. He is currently the most poorly regarded radio operator in all of Canada. All of this is well documented.
In the absence of any proof against those he defames, we must conclude that Karol Florian Madera, of 3040 Tillicum Road, Saanich, British Columbia, is indeed a World Class Liar.
Now, let's look at a few of Madera's garden variety lies.
"I advanced myself in rank...several ranks actually." Madera told callsign hi-jacker and fraud, Whitney Tritch, N3ZV, that he lied to a commanding officer (and others) about his rank in the military. Officer and a gentleman? Hardly. Listen here
"They made fraudulent attempts to affect my amateur licence." There have been many complaints made, but we have seen no evidence that any complaint against Madera has been anything but accurate and truthful.
Madera was recorded as he threatened to physically assault the United States Ambassador to Canada. Threatening violence is a crime. The Crown has failed to prosecute (so far) but threats were made nonetheless. Madera's threats were reported to the State Department, FBI, RCMP, CSIS, CIA, and others. As a result, Karol Madera is now on a terrorist watch list in the United States.
"I have an email." Madera read an email purportedly from John, in Dixon, Illinois. John is widely known as the founder of hi-fi SSB audio. John reports he has never emailed Madera. Further, he had no idea who Madera was, until he heard this recording.
"The Minister told me." Minister Maxime Bernier told me to tell him to "mange la merde." The Minister for Industry Canada has denied giving Madera any such message.
"I can't hear you George!" Madera was caught using Skype to speak with George Zardecki while pretending to converse with Zardecki over the air. Despite being able to Zardecki perfectly well (through his computer speakers) he lies, telling Zardecki (over the air) "I had some trouble copying you George..."
"My Chief of police stands to attention when he sees me." In fact, the Saanich Police have registered Madera in the Canadadian Police Computer System (CPIC) as someone with serious mental health issues. The longer we listen, the more ridiculous Madera becomes.
"I have been commissioned by Canada to restore the airwaves to some semblence of normalcy." Commissioned? As a clown, perhaps, nothing more.
"Riley got the boot because of me." Hollingsworth's retirement had nothing to do with Karol Madera.
"Dan Jeswald is jamming me." Madera actually said this on air, despite the fact that Jeswald was recovering from open heart surgery in the intensive care unit of his local hospital, at the very moment Madera accused him of jamming.
"They fraudulently embroiled Glenn (K1MAN) with the FCC, and by the end of 2005, they effectively drove him out of the 20 meter Band." The FCC had been receiving complaints about Glenn Baxter since 1985. The FCC used their own monitoring evidence to levy a fine of $21,000 against Baxter.
On his web page, Madera has posted a picture of two individuals. In reality, the picture is of N3JBH and WB3IAL, not the men he claims. Although the fraud was pointed out to Madera over 3 years ago, it remains on his web page.
Madera identifies someone named DeLorean as Brian. See: Delorean tell Madera to return his "junior detective kit" for a refund!
"VE7KFM.com is a fraud, written as if by me." Quite the contrary, http://ve7kfm.com is accurate, and it's about Madera, not by him.
"They admitted telephone harassment!" Madera hosts a sound clip. Two men laugh (uproariously) at Madera's on air stupidities, but neither man admitted "telephone harassment."
"So and So is Queer!" Madera constantly projects his own sexual preferences onto others. Madera is a single male living alone; a misogynist, known throughout the world for his homophobic, sadomasochistic diatribes about "sucking off" other men.
"Look what Leo said!" Madera actually printed a "testimonial" from a Florida physician named Leo Winter, who had been deceased at least four years before Madera claimed he wrote the testimonial. After the fraud was discovered on Madera's webpage, he denied making the claim.
"These are unsolicited testimonials!" Not exactly. A young man named Brandon Duke who was just finishing a jail term, had plenty to say about Madera's solicitations. Madera has done plenty of soliciting, and not all of Madera's attention has been focused on 12 year old girls.
"They furnished fraudulent evidence to the Professional Engineering board regarding Glenn Baxter." Wrong again! Retired Detective Tom Whatley, now a computer forensics consultant, had nothing to do with the complaint that resulted in Glenn Baxter being cautioned by the Professional Engineering board after 3 formal hearings before Maine's Assistant Attorney General.
"I'm not anti-American!" No, of course not... Madera just thinks American's need to be taught a lesson, and to suffer, by experiencing al Qaida's roadside bombs. He also said the Virginia Tech massacre was "a good start."
"I'm more of a lawyer than you are." False. Madera is not lawyer and has never been a lawyer. Madera was not admitted to the Bar (for obvious reasons) and once again, for the sake of clarity, Karol Madera is NOT now, and never has been a lawyer.
"Fred Lloyd said..." No. Fred Lloyd never said any such thing.
"Hollingsworth is a fraud."
"My website is essentially reactive." Another of Madera's transparent lies. This website began in October, 2006. Madera's Life of Riley was published in Poland in 2003. And since we always back up our claims, here's the link to Mader'a first site. Notice the copyright, dated 2003.
"They have over the past 2+ years mis-appropriated my identity [and that of others] numerous times and even runs several ‘spoofy’ and highly defamatory and FRAUDulent websites against me—which to the uninitiated are expressly designed to look ‘as if mine’…." This is laughable. A ham radio callsign is not an "identity," and even a casual reader can tell the difference between this site, with its reasoned, orderly, facts, and Madera's site, consisting of the irrational lamentations of a decompensated personality. Once again, no proof from Madera, just a ridiculous, repetitive rant.
"A mere shadow of this Website was initially started on Yahoo! GeoCities in the Fall of 2006... the Website was FRAUDulently taken down.... Wrong. Yahoo took the website down because it contained hate speech. We're not sure why Madera calls Yahoo fraudulent, but he forgot to mention that his second and third Yahoo websites, were also taken down by Yahoo, for hate speech. Now, only his demented partner in crime, Whitney Tritch, N3ZV, maintains a Yahoo group, where he apparently talks to himself.
Madera harvests anonymous comments from the internet, then he changes the comments, and pretends the comments were written about people he dislikes. Although the comments are anonymous [meaning of unknown provenance] Karol Madera "knows" who made them. In addition to being a liar, racist, bigot, and fraud, he seems to be telepathic and clairvoyant as well.
Someone called Madera's website “a site by a moron for morons.” However, on his page, Madera turned the statement around 180 degrees and claimed the person was discussing this website!
Madera has begun pulling psychiatric classifications out of the dictionary. Without the slightest training in the matter, he unethically, and with intent to defame, ascribes mental diseases to others. He was recently reported to Canadian authorities for practicing medicine, and law, without a license.
In 2008, Congress launched a probe of FCC practices with regard to spectrum auctions. Madera took credit for the probe (!) and promises "heads will roll" at the FCC. Karol Madera was referred to as a "fruitcake" by the retired FCC Special Counsel, Riley Hollingsworth.
On a humorous note, listen to this rare gem as Madera (finally) tells the truth for once, saying something everyone can agree with!
Notes: The list above represents the tip of the iceberg (over 50 lies!) If we were so inclined, we could literally find a lie in almost every paragraph Madera has ever placed on the internet. With numerous affidavits available from law enforcement officers, federal agents, previously victorious litigants, the courts, neighbors, and even former students of RMC who are familiar with Madera, we are more than comfortable with everything we've printed about him.
As always, we strive for accuracy and precision above all else. Should you have corrections or additions, please contact us.
