Breakaway civilization

We´ve all heard of breakaway republics, but what about a breakaway *civilization*? A propos some recent Swedish discoveries...

What is the "breakaway civilization" conspiracy theory?

The “breakaway civilization” theory is a modern conspiracy narrative that tries to explain the persistence of UFO sightings, secret technologies, and the apparent disconnect between public science and hidden capabilities of certain elite groups or governments. It’s a hybrid of exopolitics, black project secrecy, and post–World War II mythmaking, especially in the American context.

Here’s a clear breakdown of what it is, where it came from, and how it’s understood:

🧩 Basic Idea

The theory claims that:

At some point in the 20th century—often after World War II—a secret faction within governments, corporations, or intelligence agencies developed (or acquired) advanced technology—possibly of extraterrestrial origin—and used it to create a separate, hidden civilization that operates independently of the rest of humanity.

This hidden civilization supposedly has:

Vast funding (via black budgets, hidden financial systems, or secret energy sources)
Advanced propulsion (anti-gravity, zero-point energy, or post-quantum physics)
A network of underground bases, off-world colonies, or covert infrastructure
A long-term goal to separate from mainstream Earth civilization

🕰️ Origins of the Idea

The concept emerged gradually from several streams of postwar UFO and countercultural speculation:

1940s–1950s Cold War UFO culture
Early flying saucer reports coincided with black-budget military projects (e.g., stealth aircraft, nuclear propulsion). People began to suspect the government knew more than it admitted.
1970s–1980s black project paranoia
Revelations about Skunk Works, stealth tech, and secret satellite systems fueled the belief that hidden programs were decades ahead of public science.
Richard Dolan (2000s)
Historian and UFO researcher Richard Dolan popularized the specific phrase “breakaway civilization.”
He proposed that classified research into recovered UFO technology created a technologically advanced, quasi-independent elite, operating off the books since the mid-20th century.

🛰️ Typical Components of the Theory

Theme	Description
Secret Space Program (SSP)	Hidden human-run spacecraft operating in Earth orbit or beyond (Mars, Moon).
Recovered ET Technology	Reverse-engineered craft from crashes (e.g. Roswell).
Black Budget Funding	Trillions of dollars siphoned from defense or intelligence accounts.
Underground Bases	Vast subterranean complexes (like at Dulce, New Mexico, or Antarctica).
Hidden Colonies	A “shadow” humanity living in advanced isolation (on Earth or off-world).
Social Engineering	Mainstream culture allegedly kept primitive to maintain control.

🔬 Why It Sounds Plausible to Some

Real government secrecy about advanced weapons (e.g., stealth bombers, NSA satellites).
Genuine UFO/UAP encounters that remain unexplained.
Unaccounted defense spending (Pentagon’s “black budget”).
The accelerating gap between classified and public technologies.

❌ Criticisms and Skeptical View

Critique	Explanation
No credible evidence	No verifiable physical proof of a separate “civilization.”
Misinterpretation of black projects	Actual secret programs are terrestrial, military, and incremental.
Sociological factor	Reflects Cold War anxieties, technological alienation, and distrust of institutions.
Psychological appeal	Explains why society feels stagnant despite rapid tech growth — “someone else must have the good stuff.”

Even Dolan himself sometimes frames it as a metaphor for runaway secrecy and inequality in technological access, not necessarily a literal separate civilization.

🧠 Cultural Influence

The idea blends into:

Ancient alien narratives
UFOlogy and exopolitics
Techno-gnostic myths (the elite as “gods” with hidden knowledge)
Pop media like The X-Files, Stargate, Iron Sky, and The Expanse

It also resonates with thinkers like Jack Sarfatti and Hal Puthoff, who speculate about advanced propulsion or consciousness physics — though most of them don’t claim a literal “breakaway society.”

🧭 In Summary

The breakaway civilization theory imagines that hidden human factions, empowered by secret technologies, have already transcended current civilization — effectively forming a separate species or culture that “broke away” from the rest of us.

It’s part social critique, part modern myth — a story about how secrecy, power, and technology can create literal and symbolic distance between elites and ordinary humanity.

Would you like me to outline the main historical versions of the theory (e.g. Nazi breakaway → Cold War → Secret Space Program → modern UAP framing)?

Can you tell me more about the (alleged) Secret Space Program (SSP)?

Sure — I can give you a clear, factual outline of what the “Secret Space Program” (SSP) is alleged to be, who promotes the idea, and how it developed — as well as what can actually be verified and what remains pure speculation or myth.

🛰️ I. Overview: What the “Secret Space Program” Means

In UFO and conspiracy subcultures, the Secret Space Program refers to the idea that one or more human groups — typically U.S. or multinational — have developed advanced aerospace or antigravity technologies derived from crashed alien craft or reverse-engineered physics, enabling them to operate off-planet bases, fleets, and colonies beyond public knowledge.

It’s a meta-conspiracy — combining UFO lore, black-budget research, whistleblower claims, and esoteric cosmology.

🧩 II. Main Claims (as told by proponents)

The narrative has multiple versions, but most SSP accounts include these core ideas:

Reverse-Engineered Alien Technology:
Starting with Roswell (1947), secret military-industrial projects allegedly recovered extraterrestrial craft and learned to duplicate their propulsion systems.
Breakaway Human Faction:
A small elite — military, corporate, and scientific — allegedly formed a separate civilization decades ahead of public technology.
Bases Beyond Earth:
- Moon bases (sometimes jointly run with aliens)
- Mars colonies (often portrayed as mining or military outposts)
- Deep underground facilities on Earth
Interstellar Trade and Conflict:
Some versions describe secret diplomatic or military contact with alien species — sometimes benevolent, sometimes hostile.
Time Travel and Memory Suppression:
Whistleblowers often claim they were “drafted” into the SSP, served for “20 and back” (20 years of service, then age-regressed and mind-wiped), and returned to civilian life unaware until memories resurfaced later.

🗣️ III. Key Figures in the Modern SSP Mythos

Name	Role / Claims	Era
William Tompkins	WWII Navy insider; said the U.S. had design help from Nordic aliens.	2010s
Corey Goode	Claimed to be an SSP operative (“20 and back”) serving in space fleets like “Solar Warden.”	2014–present
David Wilcock	Author / media figure who merged UFO lore, Atlantis, and ascension narratives; amplified Goode’s claims.	2000s–present
Laura Eisenhower	Great-granddaughter of President Eisenhower; claims she was recruited for off-world missions.	2010s
Randy Cramer (“Captain Kaye”)	Claimed to have served in a Mars Defense Force for 17 years.	2014
Richard Dolan	Historian of UFO secrecy; his more cautious “Breakaway Civilization” idea was reinterpreted by SSP promoters.	1990s–present

🧱 IV. Alleged Factions / Organizations

The mythology is complex, but usually includes:

Solar Warden: Human-run fleet patrolling the Solar System, allegedly U.S.-led and benevolent.
Interplanetary Corporate Conglomerate (ICC): Transnational corporate alliance running space industries.
Dark Fleet: Militant off-world faction with fascist or “reptilian” ties.
Earth Alliance / Sphere Being Alliance: Spiritual or benevolent groups working to end secrecy.

Each “faction” is said to be in tension with others, mirroring Cold War geopolitics on a cosmic scale.

🔒 V. What’s Actually Real or Documented

There’s no verifiable evidence of:

Off-world human colonies
Age-regression or “20 and back” service
Alien collaboration or recovered alien craft

However, there are real-world facts that fuel the myth:

Vast classified aerospace budgets (Lockheed “Skunk Works,” Northrop, etc.)
Documented military secrecy about advanced prototypes
Real unacknowledged space surveillance and defense programs
The U.S. Space Force and “black” satellite projects

So: there really is a “secret” side of space technology — but it’s conventional (surveillance, communications, weapons systems), not extraterrestrial.

🌐 VI. Cultural and Psychological Meaning

Even though the SSP lacks empirical proof, it functions as a modern myth — a way to express deep cultural anxieties about:

Technological inequality: A hidden elite monopolizes power and knowledge.
Epistemic distrust: The public feels excluded from the truth about reality.
Spiritual yearning: Some SSP narratives are quasi-religious, promising a coming “Disclosure” or “Ascension.”
Transhumanism fears: The breakaway humans become literal post-humans, detached from moral roots.

In this sense, the SSP story parallels myths like Atlantis — a lost, superior civilization hidden from ordinary mortals.

🧭 VII. Bottom Line

Level	Reality Check
Empirical evidence	None confirming off-world SSP activity.
Documented secrecy	Real in defense and intelligence sectors.
Sociological reality	A powerful modern myth combining conspiracy, religion, and sci-fi.
Philosophical reading	A projection of human fears about power, secrecy, and transcendence.

Would you like me to outline how the “20 and back” time-regression idea emerged — and how it borrows from earlier MK-Ultra and metaphysical traditions?
