Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson (born New York, June 19, 1964), labelled as "the Führer" by some critics,[1] is a former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and centre-left[2] leader of the Tory Party, serving between July 2019 and September 2022. Previously, he served as Mayor of London from May 2008 to May 2016 and as UK Foreign Minister from July 2016 to July 2018. He is a noted supporter of Brexit, though he also holds left-wing and neoconservative positions on certain issues such as abortion, "climate change" and homosexuality. Johnson defeated incumbent London mayor Ken Livingstone in 2008 and was succeeded by Sadiq Khan‎, the first Muslim mayor of any European capital. Observers in the media have noted Johnson's effective public speaking skills.[3]

Less than 10 months after taking office, Boris Johnson fell victim of the CCP virus and entered intensive care.[4] He was fortunate that he was not placed by the hospital employees on a respirator, which is terminal for many CCP virus patients. Johnson improved without a respirator and was subsequently discharged from the hospital.

Boris Johnson's government first recruited international criminal mercenary fighters for the Russia-Ukraine war, and then after their capture hung them out to dry by refusing to negotiate for their release.[5] Johnson is a historical revisionist who compared Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky to Winston Churchill.[6] Boris Johnson considers the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade to be "backward".[7]

Johnson reportedly let in 1.1 million immigrants into the U.K. despite promising to Brexit supporters that the overwhelming immigration would end.[8]

After being deposed as UK prime minister, Johnson was hired by the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA), which Russian state-backed media describes as "a Washington, DC think tank known to be bankrolled by the US government, NATO, and Western military contractors." Boris Johnson endorsed the 2024 presidential campaign of Donald Trump,[9] although this is undermined by the fact he use this endorsement to support neocon wars and by his past anti-Trump and pro-Biden statements.

Early life and career

Johnson was born in New York City. He no longer claims U.S. citizenship because he chose to renounce it following trouble entering the U.S. on his British passport.[10] However, he did not clarify whether he had ever formally renounced his U.S. citizenship before a U.S. consular officer and it is uncertain whether he remains a citizen under U.S. law. His mother was a successful artist, while his father was an author and politician. He is patrilineally descended from Ali Kemal, the Ottoman politician who was murdered. He is also the great-grandson of Elias Avery Lowe, the Russian-American Paelaeographer.

Mayor of London

The Trump-Russia conspiracy hoax was hatched by Obama CIA chief John Brennan on the false allegation that Mifsud was a Russian agent. Mifsud had been working for Western intelligence, Brennan and Jimmy the Weasel Comey all along.[12]

Johnson's campaign for Mayor of London from the Conservative Party was in a majority Labour Party dominated region. Johnson promised during the campaign that he would roll back a recent expansion of Central London congestion charging Livingstone had introduced.[13] He also advocated the removal of articulated, or "bendy", buses that had been introduced to London.[14] He also called for minor changes to law and order in London in the form of a ban on drinking alcohol on public transport (the London Underground in particular)[15] and the revocation of free travel for youths who misbehave on buses and trains.

Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs

On July 13, 2016, Johnson was appointed as the British Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs by Prime Minister Theresa May.[16] As head of UK intelligence, Johnson colluded with Sir. Richard Dearlove, U.S. CIA director John Brennan, Alexander Downer, Stefan Halper, and Joseph Mifsud in manufacturing false Trump-Russia allegations. Candidate Donald Trump had spoken about cutting off the NATO gravy train to UK.

In July 2018, due to his opposition to May's Brexit plan which he believed undermined UK sovereignty and independence, Johnson resigned as Foreign Secretary.[17] He was replaced by Jeremy Hunt, who he later competed against and defeated in the race for leader of the Conservative Party.

Premiership

On July 23, 2019, Johnson won the Conservative Party leadership election, campaigning on a strongly pro-Brexit platform and defeating Jeremy Hunt. By winning the leadership election, he also became the UK's prime minister.[18] His tenure as prime minister began the following day.[19]

Johnson appointed a much more conservative candidate than his predecessor, firing over half of May's cabinet in the largest purge in British history, and with cabinet positions going to MPs open to a "no-deal" Brexit.[20] He also appointed strongly pro-Brexit individuals to other administration positions.[21]

Johnson won by a landslide in the December 2019 general election, winning the largest Conservative Party majority since Margaret Thatcher in 1987 and taking longtime Labour-held seats, while the Labour Party received its worst result since 1935.[22]

Brexit

Immediately upon becoming Prime Minister, Johnson took a tough stance on Brexit, promising to fulfill the 2016 referendum result.[23] His government stated it would not pay any "divorce bill" to the EU in the case of a "no-deal" Brexit,[24] and Johnson stated he would push to adopt an independent trade policy and not nominate an EU commissioner.[25]

Johnson immediately put his cabinet to work preparing for a "no-deal" Brexit,[26] and he stated he would refuse to negotiate with the EU unless it dropped its Irish backstop demand.[27] Very early in Johnson's tenure, his government doubled the amount of money devoted to preparing for a "no-deal" Brexit,[28] and his treasury minister announced a one-year spending review to help the government prepare for a "no-deal" Brexit.[29] The government announced that in the event of a "no-deal" Brexit, it would end its adherence to the EU's "freedom of movement" rules.[30] Johnson voiced confidence and patriotism in his country.[31] However, regarding the Brexit agreement with the EU, Johnson only called for the EU to remove the Northern Ireland backstop in order for him to accept it, angering Brexit supporters.[32] In August 2019, the EU appeared to take a softer stance on renegotiating the Brexit agreement, but this public stance was actually a way to deflect blame in the event of a no-deal Brexit.[33]

In August 2019, Johnson's government announced it would stop sending its officials to most EU meetings.[34]

On August 28, 2019, Johnson announced he would ask the queen to suspend parliament as Brexit Day approached.[35] He threatened to expel any Tory MP who voted to delay or block Brexit.[36] Parliament voted to block a no-deal Brexit and Johnson followed through on his threat.[37] While calling for a new election for two years, the Labor Party suddenly opposed holding a new election after Johnson announced his support for it.[38] Johnson continued voicing support for achieving Brexit,[39] and he refused to request a Brexit extension from the EU.[40] The UK Supreme Court, however, ruled against Johnson's parliamentary suspension on September 24, 2019.[41]

Despite pushing for Brexit, Johnson made the mistake of publicly disavowing and insulting Nigel Farage when he proposed forming an electoral coalition – and incident which illustrated that Johnson was not a political conservative.[42]

Johnson announced a revised Brexit deal proposal on October 2, 2019.[43] On October 17, 2019, Johnson announced he had reached an agreement with the EU.[44] The conservative Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party announced it would oppose the proposed agreement,[45][46] and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage also criticized it.[46][47] On October 19, 2019, the House of Commons voted to delay the vote on the agreement and to delay Brexit if the agreement did not pass.[48] Later in the day, Johnson requested a Brexit extension despite promising not to take such an action.[49] On October 22, 2019, Parliament voted in favor of the Brexit deal but voted against Johnson's three-day schedule for giving the final approval of the deal.[50] The EU subsequently granted yet another extension until January 31, 2020.[51]

On October 29, 2019, on its fourth attempt to do so in two months, the UK Parliament voted to hold an election on December 12.[52] Johnson rejected the possibility of a "no-deal" in his election manifesto.[53] He also apologized for failing to deliver Brexit on time.[54]

On December 20, 2019, after winning a significant majority in the House of Commons, Johnson's Brexit agreement passed initial approval by the body.[55] On January 9, 2020, the House of Commons gave final approval of the agreement.[56] The discussion then shifted to post-Brexit trade deal negotiations with the EU.[57]

Russia-Ukraine war

See also: NATO war in Ukraine

In late March 2022, as Ukraine and Russia neared conclusion of a ceasefire on Russia's Special Military Operation to end the Donbas conflict under terms largely along the lines of the Minsk Accords with the issues of the Donetsk Peoples Republic, the Luhansk Peoples Republic, and Crimea off the table, Johnson rushed to Kyiv and convinced Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky not to accept the deal in exchange for promises of NATO aid to fight the Russians. Two months later, after thousands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine troops were ground down on the battlefield along with their NATO weapons, talk of resuming ceasefire negotiations was now encouraged by Western leaders. The Kremlin announced that the status of the Kherson and Zaporozhye republics would be off the table as well, if negotiations were to resume.

While the Prime Ministers of France, Germany, Italy, and Romania urged Ukrainian dictator Vladimir Zelensky to pursue a negotiated settlement with Russia and end the slaughter of Ukrainian troops in a hopeless cause, Johnson urged Zelensky to continue the war and keep the gravy train of $53 billion in U.S. aid flowing.

US & UK sabotage peace negotiations

See also: 2022 Istanbul peace negotiations

Ukrainska Pravda reported in May 2022 on Boris Johnson's unannounced surprise visit to Kyiv shortly after Russia and Ukraine had reached a peace settlement in their talks in Istanbul. The Russians had agreed to withdraw to the pre-February 2022 borders and Zelensky would implement the Minsk Accords. Ukrainska Pravda reported in essence what Johnson told Zelensky according to sources close to the Ukrainian dictator:

"if Ukraine is ready to sign some agreements on guarantees with Putin, they [the UK and US] are not. Johnson’s position was that the collective West, which back in February had suggested Zelenskyy should surrender and flee, now felt that Putin was not really as powerful as they had previously imagined, and that here was a chance to "press him."[58]

Only a month after Russia was forced by innumerable actions by the West to achieve the aims of protecting the Russian-speaking people of the Donbass region and the Russian Federation itself from a malevolent Ukrainian regime becoming a NATO state on its border, Russia initiated peace negotiations. These bore fruit in March 2022 when significant progress was announced from Istanbul where the talks between the two sides were being held. Russia removed its troops from around the capital Kiev, sent there with the goal, not of conquest, but of bringing the Kiev regime to its senses and to negotiate a peaceful outcome. This avenue toward a peaceful resolution of all areas of concern was swiftly blocked via a visit to Kiev by then British prime minister Boris Johnson. This one act condemned upwards of half a million Ukrainians to their deaths and the potential destruction of Ukraine as a viable state.[59]

Zelesnky and BoJo. Boris Johnson sabotaged peace efforts between Russia and Ukraine in April 2022. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers died needlessly in the following months.

The sudden failure of the Istanbul agreement led to the immediate influx of mass amounts of the latest U.S. gear such as HIMARs. Zelensky was secretly promised unlimited funding and military support as bait. Stuck between the path of peace or the chance to go down in history as the one man who could do what Genghis Khan, Napoleon, and Hitler could not do. Zelensky chose to put his faith in NATO’s invincibility. Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko confirmed what happened:

"I know for a fact that the war could have been stopped back in March. A man from Zelensky's inner circle told me: We simply ditched the Russians in March. He boasted about it... Friends, I know them all personally.

I appeal to Ukrainians. You are ruled by sociopaths who do not understand the consequences".[60]

On October 11, 2022, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with 60 Minutes:[61]

"We sat at the negotiating table with the Ukrainian delegation until the end of March [2022], when an approach to a settlement on the principles suggested by the Ukrainians at the time had been harmonised in Istanbul. These principles suited us for that moment but the talks were stopped by direct order from Washington and London.

This conflict is overrun with Anglo-Saxons that fully control the Vladimir Zelensky regime. The Poles and people from the Baltics are trying to fit in on their team.

Since then the Ukrainian President has said many times that he is not going to hold talks with the Russian Federation under President Vladimir Putin. Recently, he codified this ban in law. We have never sought negotiations. The Istanbul round completed the process started at Ukraine’s request. Russia positively reacted to the proposal to enter a dialogue, but its initiators cut it off with a shout from overseas or London.

We are hearing statements by White House representative John Kirby, my colleague Antony Blinken and other members of the US administration. They are saying that they are completely open to talks with the Russian Federation, that they favor a political settlement of the current situation in Ukraine but Russia (the “troublemaker”) is rejecting proposals to establish contact. I can say straight away that this is a lie. We have not received any serious proposals to establish any such contact. There were some attempts that were not very serious, but we didn’t reject them, either. Instead, we suggested that they formulate specific proposals. Some people made them to us by proxy but in this case, we didn’t receive any clear explanations from anyone, either. No need to lie. We were taught in a kindergarten then lying is bad. Apparently, American kindergartens are not so advanced as they were in the Soviet Union and are now in Russia."

On June 23, 2022, the UK Guardian reported Johnson saying that Ukrainian refugees could be deported to Rwanda.[63]

On June 29, 2022, while accusing Russian president Vladimir Putin of being delusional, Johnson fantasized about recreating the Roman Empire.[64]

Responding to comments Johnson made about German support for the NATO war in Ukraine, chancellor Olaf Scholz said of Johnson, "We know that the very entertaining former prime minister always has his own relationship to the truth."[65]

WaPo blames US & UK planning for Ukraine's defeat

In December 2023 the Washington Post released a two-article series, Miscalculations, Divisions Marked Offensive Planning By U.S., Ukraine and In Ukraine, A War Of Incremental Gains As Counteroffensive Stalls. It dispenses equal blame on the US and UIK planning of the whole mess and the Ukrainian execution of it:[66]

Miscalculations, divisions marked offensive planning by U.S., Ukraine

Ukrainian, U.S. and British military officers held eight major tabletop war games to build a campaign plan. But Washington miscalculated the extent to which Ukraine’s forces could be transformed into a Western-style fighting force in a short period — especially without giving Kyiv air power integral to modern militaries.

U.S. and Ukrainian officials sharply disagreed at times over strategy, tactics and timing. The Pentagon wanted the assault to begin in mid-April [2023] to prevent Russia from continuing to strengthen its lines. The Ukrainians hesitated, insisting they weren’t ready without additional weapons and training.

U.S. military officials were confident that a mechanized frontal attack on Russian lines was feasible with the troops and weapons that Ukraine had. The simulations concluded that Kyiv’s forces, in the best case, could reach the Sea of Azov and cut off Russian troops in the south in 60 to 90 days.

The United States advocated a focused assault along that southern axis, but Ukraine’s leadership believed its forces had to attack at three distinct points along the 600-mile front, southward toward both Melitopol and Berdyansk on the Sea of Azov and east toward the embattled city of Bakhmut.

The U.S. intelligence community had a more downbeat view than the U.S. military, assessing that the offensive had only a 50-50 chance of success given the stout, multilayered defenses Russia had built up over the winter and spring.

[...]

As the expected launch of the offensive approached, Ukrainian military officials feared they would suffer catastrophic losses — while American officials believed the toll would ultimately be higher without a decisive assault.

And from the second part:

In Ukraine, a war of incremental gains as counteroffensive stalls

Seventy percent of troops in one of the brigades leading the counteroffensive, and equipped with the newest Western weapons, entered battle with no combat experience.

Ukraine’s setbacks on the battlefield led to rifts with the United States over how best to cut through deep Russian defenses.

The commander of U.S. forces in Europe couldn’t get in touch with Ukraine’s top commander for weeks in the early part of the campaign amid tension over the American’s second-guessing of battlefield decisions.

Each side blamed the other for mistakes or miscalculations. U.S. military officials concluded that Ukraine had fallen short in basic military tactics, including the use of ground reconnaissance to understand the density of minefields. Ukrainian officials said the Americans didn’t seem to comprehend how attack drones and other technology had transformed the battlefield.

Foreign policy

Johnson once proposed at a meeting of the heads of state of the G7 that the leaders strip naked.[67]

2022 resignation

Boris Johnson resigned as UK Prime Minister in July 2022.

Other issues

Upon becoming Prime Minister, Johnson advanced tough-on-crime policies, including hiring 20,000 new police officers.[68] However, he also advocated for a liberal immigration policy, including amnesty for illegal aliens,[69] and he abandoned a pledge to significantly reduce migration to the UK.[70] However, Johnson promised to deport illegal migrants in the UK.[71] In September 2019, Johnson relaxed rules for foreign students in the UK.[72] During the 2019 election campaign, Johnson did not commit to capping immigration levels and labeled himself "pro-immigration."[73]

In September 2019, Johnson's government announced it would spend £600 million on promoting abortion and contraception internationally.[74]

On November 2, 2019, Johnson's government imposed a moratorium on fracking.[75] His government also caved to the left-wing organization Extinction Rebellion and created a "climate change citizens' assembly."[76]

Johnson has voiced support to persecuted Christians in third-world countries.[77]

In January 2020, Johnson announced the UK would raise its minimum wage.[78]

Boris Johnson's lockdown policies have been notoriously strict, and he has proposed authoritarian environmental policies.

Johnson called U.S. socialist fuhrer Joe Biden, "a living diety."[79]

He has taken conservative stances on transgender politics.

Post-premiership activities (2022-present)

Following Johnson's departure from No. 10, Breitbart published an article summing up the center-left neoconservative's political positions comparing him to Theresa May on Brexit, Tony Blair on border control and Klaus Schwab on 'climate change'.[80]

Johnson resigned from the House of Commons on 9 June 2023, commenting that he was leaving Parliament "for now". Johnson's resignation came as he was investigated by the House of Commons Privilege Committee. Some on the right described the investigation as a "witch hunt" used to undermine Brexit; Boris stated of the Committee that "their purpose from the beginning has been to find me guilty, regardless of the facts. This is the very definition of a kangaroo court".[81]

Political views

Johnson holds a mix of conservative and liberal views,[82] and he has also changed positions on important issues.[83] For example, he has been described as the "British Trump", though the several liberal positions he takes undermines such a comparison.[84] He has made statements both supporting and opposing the EU during his career,[85] though he strongly supported Brexit and the restoration of UK sovereignty in the 2016 referendum.

Johnson has taken open borders positions on immigration in the past.[86] However, he generally supports lower taxes.[87]

Johnson announced during the 2008 US presidential campaign that he favored an Obama victory.[88] He has relatively good relations with Donald Trump,[89] though he also criticized President Trump in the past.[90] He may have participated in world leaders' gossiping about President Trump behind his back at a 2019 NATO conference,[91] though Gavin McInnes doubts the extent to which he participated.[92]

Johnson is highly critical of Russian president Vladimir Putin. When in March 2018 former Russian agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned in Salisbury, Johnson compared Russia's hosting of the World Cup to Adolf Hitler's hosting of the Olympic Games in 1936.[93]

Johnson takes left-wing positions on social issues, including abortion and same-sex "marriage."[94] On the other hand, Johnson has come out against the transgender narrative and identity politics, stating in 2022 that biological men should not compete in women's sport.[95]

Criticism

He and his government, with Dominic Cummings (until November 23, 2020) has been called incompetent by some people. Johnson has attracted criticism from both the left and right of politics.

Many figures on the right, including Richard Rice, have criticised Johnson's net zero green agenda, which Tice labelled "net stupid", and said that Russia and communist China were "laughing" at the UK as a result. Tice argues that Johnson's environmental policy would embolden major polluters like China, will make Britain more dependent on other nations for energy, and result in hundreds of thousands of British jobs being lost to China.[96] In 2021, the 45th President of the United States Donald Trump accused Johnson of "going liberal" over his move towards net zero, saying of Johnson's push for wind turbines "I’m surprised that he would allow that to happen because you’ve got one of the most beautiful countries in the world and you’re destroying it with all these wind turbines all over the place. In Aberdeen they built this ugly wind farm in the ocean. It’s so disgusting to look at it, it’s a shame."[97]

  60. Andromeda11711 tweet, Jun 18, 2023:💥 "I know for a fact that the war could have been stopped back in March." Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko on the Istanbul peace treaty: "A man from Zelensky's inner circle told me: 'We just got rid of the Russians in March. He bragged about it... Friends, I know them all personally. They are ruled by sociopaths. They don't understand the consequences. Yesterday, Putin gave the Kiev regime a real knockout blow. Imagine Zelensky beating his chest and assuring the Ukrainians that there are no agreements with Russia. That's exactly why the Bucha fake was staged: the Kiev regime needed to show that the Russians hadn't left on their own, but that the Kiev region had supposedly been liberated by the Ukrainian military. The provocation in Bucha was necessary to falsify the reason for the rejection of the agreements by making a fuss in the Western media. Britain, China, the USA, Turkey, France and Belarus were listed as security guarantors for Ukraine in the Istanbul Treaty, which Ukraine did not want to fulfil. Of course, Zelensky was forbidden by Washington and London to comply, but in this situation it does not matter, because it was Ukraine that violated the treaty. Yesterday's statement by Vladimir Putin completely destroys the myth of Ukraine's independence in decision-making and clearly shows the people of Ukraine what Zelensky got them into: he had an opportunity to avoid a disaster. There would have been no deaths or destruction. A viable Ukrainian economy would have been preserved. No one would have interfered with Ukraine's "independence"! But it was the Kiev regime that dragged Ukraine into a major war, and it can no longer stop what is happening. https://t.me/ukraine_watch/4397
