"Allt er betra en sé brigðum að vera."
Disclaimer: some of these may actually be falsehoods told by people who are not intelligent enough to understand the topics I discuss, and have therefore misunderstood me, rather than told deliberate lies. I think most of them, however, are indeed intentional lies told by people who wish to discredit me and who have little regard for truth.
Most have their origin either in a coordinated smear campaign orchestrated by convicted murderer Varg Vikernes in 2017 or in a second one orchestrated by an aspiring journalist called Ben van de Merwe in 2019 and published by the state-supported activist group Hope not Hate. The latter's false claims were amplified and further embellished by a group of far-left 'woke' medievalists on Twitter in 2019 including Eric Wade, Mary Rambaran-Olm, Sjoerd Levelt and Helen Young. My contempt for such lies prevented me from addressing them until now and I do so here only for the record, so it cannot be said that I did not deny these accusations.
The Lies and the people who tell them
- That I am a "white supremacist" - Invented by Helen Young / Rambaran-Olm and others (no source given)
- That I rely on "19th century race science" - Invented by Mary Rambaran-Olm (no source given - I cite the latest scientific papers concerning archaeogenetics and population genetics)
- That I am a "white Identitarian" - Invented by Transparency Tube (no source given)
- That I drive "supremacist attention" toward medieval studies - Claim by Sjoerd Levelt (he points to four tweets as evidence, although none of them support the claim. They mention historical and scientific topics; 1. the origin of Celtic culture, 2. the Aryan migration to Bronze age India, 3. the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain and 4. a joke about Napoleon being short - nothing pertaining to the supremacy of any culture or people)
- Survive the Jive name stands for Saint Jerome - Invented by fans of Varg Vikernes who allege I am a Christian (no source given)
- Survive the Jive name stands for Society of Jesuits - Invented by fans of Varg Vikernes who allege I am a Christian (no source given)
- Survive the Jive name invokes African Americans in a negative way - Invented by Reddit user Joseph Hopkins (no source given)
- That I have been connected to terrorists (proscribed group National Action) or have attended a terrorist training camp in 2014 - Invented by Ben Van de Merwe (source - he alleges he heard this directly from me in a pub in London in 2019. I have in fact had no connection to this group or any other terrorist group)
- That my father lives in Israel and is a Zionist - Invented by fans of Varg Vikernes (no source given) and repeated by Iranian nationalists
- I have books published by a far right publisher - Invented by an anonymous Iranian (no source given. I have not yet written a book except for a children's book The Spirit of Yule which was self published by the artist who illustrated it)
- That I have published articles on a right wing website called National Vanguard - Invented by Reddit users (source - that website posted a link to one of my videos - nothing to do with me)
- That I promote "pseudo-science" - Invented by Hermansson, Mulhall et al (they cite my 2017 video about the Ancient North Eurasians calling it pseudo-science although it in fact refers to the latest peer-reviewed genetic science widely accepted since the DNA of Mal'ta boy was analysed in 2016)
- That I have said the Ancient Greeks/Ancient Romans/Ancient Indians were Nordic - Repeated on various forums (no source given - sometimes they cite me where I have cited genetics papers concerning the eg. Corded ware, Sintashta, Andronovo, Bell Beaker, Catacomb cultures, populations which are ancestral to those previously mentioned - misinterpreted by confused internet users)
- That I promote sexual promiscuity - Invented by anonymous Christian activists (source - they misunderstood this diagram)
Always have truth as your goal, whatever you say.
