Palo Alto mass killer of Ukulele Orchestra caught

I guess that many female readers would call this guy a heart-throb.



More importantly, however, Kevin Dahlgren (*1992) of Palo Alto is a mass killer who has murdered a Czech family of four in Brno, the second largest country in Czechia and the capital of Moravia (130 miles southeast of Prague).

A San Francisco Chronicle blog explains that he had some identity crisis and had to leave his family. The family hoped that his psychological state would improve overseas.

So he went to Czechia to teach English. Unfortunately, a family of four – the Harok family (my research using publicly available information only) – had to pay with their lives for the treatment of this guy. A mother (who is a teacher), a father, and two sons. The father (Martin Harok) and one of the two sons (Filip Harok – all the names are my research) were members of the "Ukulele Orchestra jako Brno" ("jako" means "as" or "as big as", in this case, and "jako Brno" is being used by all Czechs for something that is really big, almost like the City of Brno; it's a pun because these guys were from Brno; ukulele is a primitive musical instrument).




He has used several weapons (mainly knives) to kill the four people in their house (a photo gallery with the house; go to Google Maps: Brno-Ivanovice, Zatloukal's Street). Finally, he wanted to mask his acts – to make them look as an unlucky accident – so he put the house on fire, too. It's likely that police has a detailed documentation and witnesses for these events. After all, the four bodies were found on a pile in the garage by the family's neighbor.

It happened less than two days ago, on Wednesday night (Czech time). The guy managed to get to Vienna in some way and flew to Washington D.C. where he was caught an hour ago, with the help of the Austrian police and an FBI agent.

Unless I am confusing California with Chechnya – they sound similar, perhaps they are the same thing – I must ask: Why is California doing such things to us? [Just to be sure, this paragraph is a parody of the statements about Czechia after two Chechens terrorized the Boston Marathon. Nothing is meant seriously in this paragraph and I don't believe in the collective guilt linked to individual murders. It's annoying that a reader made it necessary for me to spoil this paragraph by this down-to-earth explanation.]

BTW California is going to ban fires. Maybe they should try to ban murders first.




The band "Ukulele Orchestra jako Brno" also has a YouTube channel with nine almost unknown videos. The first one, which is one year old, has collected about 5,000 visits and is the most visited one:



Fair music, somewhat amateurish, I would say. Some musicians from the video above are no longer alive, I think. Sad. The message is that you should better not attempt to learn English if you want to keep your chances to survive. [Spoilers: this is a joke, too.]

While the criminal only spoke English, his family actually had some Czech roots (links to Brno); Dahlgren is a name of Swedish origin, however. It's even claimed by ABC News etc. that he was a rather close relative of the murdered family. He was offering to teach English for $10 per hour on his Facebook profile (he joined Facebook less than 3 weeks ago!).

Most Czechs apparently want him to be tried in the U.S. because they believe that he could earn a harsher punishment in that way. For a murder of four, it's likely he would get a life in prison in the Czech Republic but speculations suggest that 15 years could be the final verdict, too.

It's being reported that Kevin Dahlgren despised the ugly and chaotic Western world. Not sure why he went to Czechia because we're a part of the ugly and chaotic Western world again and the houses (see the Google Maps links higher) are no worse than many houses in the U.S.

Chechnyan terrorist's favorite videos

An insane combination of ignorance of geography and PC

The hunt for the Boston Marathon terrorists turned out to be faster, more efficient, and more dramatic than I expected. One of the results of the developments is that most Americans want my country to be bombed. ;-)



The Huffington Post offers some helpful graphics to help Twitter to remind itself that Czechia isn't Chechnya. Even the Czech ambassador to the U.S. had to publish a special press release LOL. Also, see this huge collection of tweeting Americans who confused the places, via Jason Brown.

What I find characteristic is the symbiosis of this breathtaking yet proverbial ignorance of geography with the political correctness. All foreign nations are apparently equally good and equally important and it's OK to mix them up in this way. Well, let me tell you something.

Chechnya, the original homeland of the terrorists (well, they're administratively from the adjacent Republic of Dagestan but they're still ethnic Chechen), is a tiny region in the Caucasus with 1.2 million inhabitants who are mostly savages with almost no economic activity. The Czech Republic is a somewhat important cultural nation in the middle of Europe, 1,500 miles away from Chechnya, while Chechnya is just a pain in the neck of Russia.




Chechnya is the most important borderline region that is trying to pump Islam into Russia; Czechia is the most atheist country in the world. The last difference is where the wind really blows from; the Boston Marathon attack was just another terrorist act by Islamic fundamentalists – although ones with an ethnic background that is somewhat unusual in the U.S. After all, they used a cooking explosive right from the Al-Qaeda textbooks.




However, this ethnic background is not unusual for terrorist attacks in Russia at all. (They shouldn't really be called "darker faces" because they're typical Caucasians and "Caucasian" has become a word for the prototype of the white race.) Recall e.g. the 2002 Moscow theater hostage crisis. In the West, some events of this sort are sometimes spun as examples of an evil large nation of Russia that suppresses the freedom warriors such as those in Chechnya.

In reality, these folks are terrorists of the very same kind as those mostly Arab ones that are more familiar in the U.S. But it's a common feature of the double-faced postmodern media to evaluate almost the same event in two diametrically opposite ways – depending on who is the victim.



One of the two attackers, Tamerlan Tsarnaev (the guy who was killed: his brother Dzhokar is in custody now), has favorited five YouTube videos; via the Foreign Policy Blog. Most of them are Russian-language videos and their main goal is to worship Allah or, in one case, to attack the Chechen leaders who co-operate with Moscow. The first video admires Allah because He is a chameleon. The last, English-speaking video is about Allah and as far as I understand, it is a relatively peaceful one. But I can't resist to point out that it is just so stupid. The people who are impressed by this low-brow religious babbling must be extreme morons – (almost) whole nations of morons. Some of them turn out to be killers but this may be just an accidental consequence of their being extreme morons.

I am disturbed by the fact that most of the U.S. media are trying to suppress the debate about the basic identity of the terrorists. It's another example of political correctness run amok, it's what allows so many ordinary Americans to conclude that the terrorists were Czech, and it's extremely dangerous because many extra bad things may happen to you if you don't know your enemies. It seems to me that even when the Americans learn about their Chechen-Czech mistakes, they won't feel guilty because they will think that Czechs shouldn't be insulted if they're compared to the Chechens. Well, the only reason why we're not insulted is that we know very well that most Americans are ignoramuses who don't have a clue about the world behind the U.S. borders (not to mention the Solar System) so we treat them in the same ways as puppies who violate some rules of grammar while barking.



A map of the official countries in the region. Chechnya is a de facto country around Groznyy ["Horrifying, horrible" in Russian] in the map.

Fox News is a positive exception here because the station tries to discuss whether they are Chechen separatists or Islamic terrorists – and concludes it's the latter. I am not 100% certain whether the conclusion is right but I am almost 100% certain that the right description is one of the two descriptions in the Fox News' title.

For those Americans who don't get their data from Fox News, most of these things will remain taboo. So the perpetrators will remain some random people from a nation starting with Č – whether you spell it as Ch or Cz is already beyond their resolution – and the motive and thinking behind the acts will remain an almost complete mystery.

I can't believe it. This result depends on the media's deliberate obfuscation and censorship of the basic facts in the name of (pro-Islam, in this case) political correctness; it also depends on the lack of readers' desire to know the truth. It seems to me that most people who follow these stories don't even dare to ask "Why" i.e. "Why they did it".

An article by Earl Ofari Hutchinson provides us with an insight into the censors' minds: hunt terrorists, not witchhunt Muslims. Nice except that the goal here is to obfuscate that it's probably the Islamic terrorism that Boston has faced.

I am also amazed by articles such as this one in Long Island News. The Russian community in Brooklyn is so surprised that their "compatriots" have done such a thing. The basic message seems to be that Russia is responsible for everything that the Chechens do. In reality, it's just like if you force Americans to apologize for what their compatriots who are Afghani did: Afghanistan has a similar "protectorate" status relatively to the U.S. as Chechnya has relatively to Russia. Would you agree that in the Afghan-American case, it would be crazy?

I am convinced that a vast majority of Russians don't consider to be the very same nation with the Chechens. To say the least, the Russians don't speak the Chechen language – which is an extremely different, archaic language of the Caucasus.

This sort of ignorance about geography is bound to become even worse in the future if the political correctness and the taboos imposed by it continue. In effect, the media and other "official pundits" (which arguably include the schools) are teaching the people not to be interested in the basics of cultures, religions, nation-specific values, and pretty much all differences between various groups of people because they're already building a "unified people". People who don't discuss whether the terrorists were Muslims are apparently labeled "nice" even though a more accurate description would be "uneducated and brainwashed imbeciles".



Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's skin is as white as you can get. He is a Caucasian and the "Caucasian" nations are the defining ones for the white race. Still, you may perhaps see something Eastern in his handsome face and being white doesn't protect one from behaving as a savage. In certain nations, this behavior is far more frequent than in others.

Boston Marathon blasts

The video below shows one of the blasts a few meters from the camera (that starts to swing); the other blast is heard elsewhere 13 seconds later. Think twice whether you want to watch it at all.



It's a special negative feeling to see people murdered at a place that I know so well as the place above. There's the Old South Church on the left side of the video above (Google Maps); the Copley Square with the Trinity Church (and the Hancock Tower next to it) would be seen just 100 meters further on the right side.

I've been in downtown Boston approximately (at least) every other weekend during my 6 years at Harvard. Boston proper was just a more attractive place for me than Cambridge – the latter is kind of provincial, boring, and full of hypocritical leftists while Boston is a proper, ideologically diverse megacity with the life and business of all kinds one expects from an unfiltered center of America.

Moreover, one doesn't have to walk for 2 miles to find a fast-food restaurant with hamburgers in Boston – a type of business that the leftists apparently want to eradicate.




You may hear that the sound of the blast was loud and guaranteed to create panic. This was a truly vibrant place and, it's easy to say now, a rather natural target for terror. Relatively speaking, the number of casualties is rather low. Thank God but let's not thank Him too much because it's still bad.




I have no idea who is behind the terror – nothing to say except that I would surely also catch and investigate a 20-year-old Saudi student if I found one next to the explosion. It's a good idea to monitor potentially dangerous – while simple enough – activities at similarly vibrant places. On the other hand, I hope that America will be wise enough not to overreact. Life shouldn't be stopped because of one explosively sad event.

Polish Breivik Wannabe: Dr Brunon Kwiecień, a chemist

I guess you have heard about the foiled plan (thank God) by a Polish nationalist to bomb the lower chamber of the Polish Parliament and to kill the president, the prime minister, and lots of lawmakers.



Via Gazeta.pl

He has had accumulated tons of explosives, detonators, guns, and lots of other equipment in his apartment and the threat was credible. A ready-to-explode vehicle contained 4 tons of explosives. The assassin was working hard to recruit accomplices. He has already confessed.

But chances are you haven't heard the name and occupation of the attacker. Well, you are fortunately a TRF reader.

His name is Dr Brunon Kwiecień (45 years) and he is an analytic chemist from the Agricultural University in Krakow. The name means "Bruno April". It's puzzling for Czechs because the last name sounds like "květen" which is the Czech word for the following month, May.

You would think that in the North, in Poland, the counterpart of the Czech May (the words "květen" and "kwiecień" are masculine nouns related to flowers or blossoming) will be June because flowers should blossom later but for some reason, it's the other way around.




He's been working in the Department of Chemistry and Physics – which may be helpful for bomb attacks (given the type of his university, some explosives may have been based on fertilizers just like in Breivik's case) – and you may even send him an e-mail although I am not sure whether he will respond to you... ;-)



You may check several publications he has co-authored. Not too many... but this is post-socialist Europe. The papers are about hydrogen bonds, the effects of heavier isotopes on chemistry, and stereochemistry. In the most recent 2011 paper, he and 5 co-authors have even employed multiwalled carbon nanotubes.

In Polish, his degrees are written as dr inż. Brunon Kwiecień, the second degree is an engineering one.



Krakow, a historical city with 750,000 inhabitants, is located about 100 km Northeast from the Czecho-Slovak-Polish triple point

This event is close to my homeland because, as President Klaus said during a recent visit to Poland, the Poles are the closest nation to us. Of course, he had to later qualify that the he considers Slovaks to be "us", and so do I, at least in a generalized way. ;-)

When such plans are so close to me, I can see that – despite the fact that I would obviously share some opinions with the guy – I can't even remotely endorse anything from his plans. The president may be a former commie [oops, mea culpa, this comment referred to the former president Kwasniewski, not the current president Komorowski who was a natural dissident due to his aristocratic background] and the current prime minister may be a Euronaive guy who promises money to everyone [parody of the #1 Czech song from my kindergarten years] but they're kind of average Poles, too. To kill such folks would mean to kill ordinary Poles. I am fed up with many Czechs as well but in my opinion, patriotism requires one to get used to the actual characteristics and opinions of the typical members of the relevant nation, too.



Ewa Farna, Polish and Czech singer who will soon serve in the Czecho-Slovak Superstar jury (looking forward to it), recommends evacuation (in Polish). Czechia tends to avoid this kind of violence: the Czech version of this song is My Desire (Toužím).
