Johnson has been influenced by the esoteric proponent of Nazism Savitri Devi after learning about Devi's Impeachment of Man (1959) and Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke's biography Hitler's Priestess in the early 2000s. Under the pen name R. G. Fowler, he created the The Savitri Devi Archive in order to make her work more accessible, and Counter-Currents has republished a centennial edition of her devotional poems to Adolf Hitler along with a new edition of The Lighting and the Sun (1958), which deifies the Führer as an avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu.
