TRUTH is that Johnson denied fellowship with his brother Theosophists.
I have never heard of such a thing. Certainly, he resigned from a single Theosophical organization, but a major leader of the organization did something to him which, in his opinion, was highly unethical (specifically, did not make any negative comments when a copy of the manuscript was given to him for review, but, after the book was published, voraciously attacked it).

TRUTH is that true scholarship is discovering the truth and not covering it up.
What sort of cover-up has taken place?

TRUTH is that Johnson does not want any independent reasearch.

From where do you get that contention?

When he launched his own Universal Seekers mailing list he denied access to critical readers.
He excluded those who refused to participate in discussions (meaning pay attention to what was being said on the other end).
