A '''breakaway civilization''' is a group or society that has separated itself from its [[parent civilization]] and developed an independent, advanced [[infrastructure]] and [[culture]].


These theories trace their modern origin to historian Richard M. Dolan, who in lectures and a 2016 booklet argues that classified research into UFO phenomena, combined with post–[[World War II]] expansion of secret appropriations, enabled a small faction to “break away” from mainstream society.<ref name="DolanBook"/> A 1986 review revealed that U.S. secret spending ballooned from US $5.5 billion in 1981 to over US $22 billion by 1987—funds allegedly diverted to highly compartmentalized propulsion and energy projects.<ref name="NJournal"/>
== Definition and overview ==


Proponents describe a self-sustaining society with its own research facilities, logistics chains and possibly off-world bases. Funding streams are said to originate from classified [[Research and development|R&D]] and procurement line items—often labelled merely “selected activities” or “special programs”—that total tens of billions annually.<ref name="NJournal"/> This financial cloak relies on legal provisions in [[50 U.S.C. § 3348]] requiring yearly reports on [[Special access program|special access programs]] yet permitting waivers when disclosure “would adversely affect national security,” effectively enabling extreme secrecy.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:50%20section:3348%20edition:prelim) |title=50 U.S.C. § 3348 – Reports relating to special access programs |publisher=United States Code |access-date=2025-05-15}}</ref>
A breakaway civilization forms when a faction—human or [[extraterrestrial life|alien]]—obtains a decisive advantage, whether technological, scientific, or ideological, and secedes from mainstream oversight. Such groups may relocate to remote terrestrial regions—such as [[Antarctica]] bases, [[underground]] or [[underwater habitat|underwater habitats]]—or to off‑planet sites like the [[Moon]], [[Mars]], or artificial [[space habitat]]s. These groups often build [[self-sufficiency|self‑sustaining]] infrastructures that remain hidden from the [[public]] and from the parent government.<ref name="DolanBook">{{cite book |last=Dolan |first=Richard M. |title=The Secret Space Program and Breakaway Civilization |publisher=Keyhole Publishing |year=2016 |isbn=9781537132556}}</ref>


Alleged technologies include:
== Terminology and usage ==
* Anti-gravity propulsion: said to permit silent, high-velocity craft, with historical roots in 1950s [[Thomas Townsend Brown|T. T. Brown]] [[Electrogravitics|electrogravitics]] and modern “lifters” hobbyist demonstrations.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://listverse.com/2009/07/31/top-10-amazing-lost-or-suppressed-inventions/ |title=Top 10 Amazing Lost or Suppressed Inventions |publisher=Listverse |date=2009-07-31}}</ref>
* Exotic energy: zero-point or other breakthrough power devices—allegedly withheld to preserve fossil-fuel markets—though no peer-reviewed data confirm functional prototypes.<ref name="DolanBook"/>
* Biotechnology: managed “leaks” of [[CRISPR]] gene-editing breakthroughs illustrate how partial disclosures may be used to placate public scrutiny while deeper research remains hidden.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/nobel-prize-winners-convince-court-revive-crispr-patent-dispute-2025-05-12/ |title=Nobel Prize winners revive CRISPR patent dispute |publisher=Reuters |date=2025-05-12}}</ref>


Alleged research sites include remote military ranges where satellite imagery and on-site observers report unusual flight testing—interpreted as breakaway aerospace trials.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.wired.com/1994/02/stealth-watchers |title=Stealth Watchers |publisher=Wired |date=1994-02}}</ref> Witness testimony from retired officials, though often protected by non-disclosure agreements, claims briefings on underground labs and recovered craft.<ref name="DolanBook"/>
A [[colony]] typically remains politically and economically tied to its parent society. When it either declares independence or loses contact long enough to develop distinct systems, it may become a breakaway civilization.


Critics argue that no verifiable artifacts or whistleblower documents have emerged to prove the existence of a society with such capabilities, noting that historic “black” projects like [[Stealth aircraft]] eventually become public once declassification occurs and viewing breakaway narratives as an expansion of the [[Deep state]] theory lacking empirical evidence.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception_management |title=Perception management |publisher=Wikipedia |access-date=2025-05-15}}</ref> Others note that if an industrial civilization could vanish without trace—as suggested by the “[[Silurian hypothesis]]”—then any advanced human faction might similarly leave only subtle geochemical markers rather than ruins.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/could-an-industrial-prehuman-civilization-have-existed-on-earth-before-ours/ |title=Could an Industrial Pre-human Civilization Have Existed on Earth Before Ours? |publisher=Scientific American |date=2018-04}}</ref>
Some breakaway civilizations remain hidden from public view—referred to as [[clandestine civilization]]s. These often use [[disinformation]] or [[black ops]] narratives to obscure their existence. Not all breakaways are clandestine; some may secede openly and operate as de facto sovereign entities.


Despite skepticism, the breakaway civilization concept remains influential in ufology and conspiracy circles, featuring in documentaries and podcasts, including a 2022 Apple TV+ episode “Is There a Breakaway Civilization?”.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://tv.apple.com/us/episode/is-there-a-breakaway-civilization/umc.cmc.3il181vda7d3a0va5fhsfpsnx |title=Is There a Breakaway Civilization? |publisher=Apple TV+ |date=2022-02-28}}</ref>
Closely related concepts include the [[hidden city]], [[underground base]], [[parallel society]], [[black budget]], [[special access program]], and the [[Silurian hypothesis]]—a framework for considering the possibility of vanished pre-human industrial civilizations.<ref name="Silurian">{{cite web |url=https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/could-an-industrial-prehuman-civilization-have-existed-on-earth-before-ours/ |title=Could an Industrial Pre-human Civilization Have Existed on Earth Before Ours? |work=Scientific American |date=2018-04-16 |access-date=2025-05-15}}</ref>
 
== General characteristics ==
 
Independent resource acquisition, such as [[asteroid mining]] and closed‑loop [[hydroponics]] systems
 
Autonomous political or organizational governance beyond the reach of parent civilizations
 
Access to exotic or [[advanced technologies]], such as [[electrogravitics]], [[zero-point energy]], or recovered [[UFO]]-related systems
 
Use of deception and remote facilities—such as the alleged [[Neuschwabenland]] base—to ensure long-term separation from surface society<ref name="Farrell">{{cite book |last=Farrell |first=Joseph P. |title=The Nazi International: The Nazi Occult and the Secret Space Program |publisher=Adventures Unlimited Press |year=2006 |isbn=9781591850417}}</ref>
 
Unique [[culture]]s or ideologies, such as [[technocracy|technocratic]], [[survivalist]], or utopian models
 
Large-scale [[infrastructure]], including hidden [[spaceports]], [[terraforming]] projects, or off-world colonies
 
 
== Categories and types ==
 
Breakaway civilizations are often categorized along several axes:
 
Clandestine vs. overt: Whether their existence is secret or acknowledged
 
Human vs. non-human: Whether the group descends from human civilization or originates from [[alien]] or [[non-human intelligence]]
 
Terrestrial vs. off-world: Whether the group resides on Earth—such as in [[Agartha]]—or off-planet, such as on [[Mars]] or in the [[asteroid belt]]
 
 
=== Overlap examples ===
 
The proposed [[Nazi German breakaway]] civilization is commonly described as both terrestrial and off‑world, with operations in Antarctica as well as alleged settlements on the [[Moon]] or [[Mars]]. It is also typically considered a human-origin, clandestine entity.<ref name="DolanBook"/>
 
== Common operations and activities ==
 
Establishing [[logistics]] and resource networks, including hidden supply chains, [[front company|front companies]], and [[black budget]] funding
 
Conducting advanced [[research and development]], such as [[genetic engineering]] with tools like [[CRISPR]], and work in [[propulsion]], [[AI]], and [[cloaking technology]]
 
Maintaining defense and security via stealth [[spacecraft]], [[directed-energy weapon]]s, or infiltration of mainstream institutions
 
Planning for long-term expansion, including population continuity, the construction of new outposts (such as those attributed to the [[Interplanetary Corporate Conglomerate]]), and [[multi-generational colonization]]
 
Engaging in [[external interaction]] with other breakaway factions—examples include alleged coordination between [[Solar Warden]], the [[Dark Fleet]], or rogue [[alien]] breakaway enclaves
