Lies and Falsehoods told about Survive the Jive

"Allt er betra en sé brigðum að vera." 

Anything is better than being deceitful

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)

Iran against Arabia

Shah of Iran on the Arabic Occupation of the Tunb Islands from Survive the Jive on Vimeo.

It's not just Israel that hate Iran. Sunni nations have been on hostile terms with Iran and other Shia countries for a very long time. This video from 30th November 1971 reveals pre-revolution Arab/Persian tensions which persist to this day. Iran is regarded as an enemy to surrounding Arabic nations. In this broadast an Arab Sheikh on the other side of the Gulf says the Tumbs belong to him.

Ras Al Khaimah is one of the Arab countries which border the Gulf. This was broadcast a couple of days before it was announced that six of the states were to form a union, which then signed a treaty of friendship with Britain. The union was the work of Sir William Luce.

The Shah's imperial army was the third largest in the Middle East He wanted to discourage British influence in the region and use his military to achieve this.  Below is a transcription of the interview with the Shah of Iran:

Reporter: "Why is three small island so important to Iran?"

His Imperial Highness, The Shah of Persia: "Because first of all they belong to us, and anyway our life depends on the security of navigation there because for sometime to come our main source of revenue will be the outflow of oil".

Reporter: "If the question isn't settled by the end of the year are you prepared to take the Islands by force?"

His Imperial Highness, The Shah of Persia: "It is not a question of being prepared, it is not even discussable."
