How It All Ends — Part III: The Breakaway

In Part I: The Quiet Drift, the United States began to come apart not with a single crisis, but through a slow and quiet unraveling. Fiscal collapse, deepening political dysfunction, and the erosion of federal cohesion hollowed out the center. By the end, the flag still flew, but the country it represented mainly existed in name.

Part II: The Fracture followed the moment when that fragile framework finally gave way. Military command splintered, deterrence fractured, and the first regional blocs emerged — the Pacific Compact, the Southern Compact, the New England Coalition, each with its system of governance and vision for survival. The world adjusted to America’s absence, sometimes with relief, sometimes with unease.

Now, in Part III: The Breakaway, the focus shifts to what rose from the wreckage. Native nations reclaim sovereignty and, in some cases, expand it. Bloc governments consolidate power, strike trade deals, and rebuild infrastructure on their terms. Borders are redrawn as Mexico regains the Gadsden Purchase without firing a shot, Canada extends its influence deep into the north, and China, Russia, Cuba, and the EU move in quietly, not with armies, but with contracts, ports, technology, and capital.

In the background, the fate of America’s nuclear arsenal remains a destabilizing question, with some warheads becoming tools of regional influence and others sitting in places where neglect threatens disaster. A generation grows up having never known the Union, pledging loyalty to something else, or nothing at all.

This is the story of the post-American era: not restoration, but a patchwork of sovereignties learning, however uneasily, to share the same ground.

When Citizenship Becomes Conditional -  The Quiet Return of Denaturalization in America

6/30/2025

The Department of Justice has quietly revived a troubling policy: denaturalization. Once reserved for Nazi war criminals and fraudsters, it’s now being expanded to target naturalized U.S. citizens for vague “serious conduct” and “certain crimes”—terms left deliberately undefined.

This isn’t a trial. There’s no jury. No public defender. Just a federal judge and a civil case with a lower burden of proof.

For many of us who earned our citizenship—by serving, working, and contributing—it’s an alarming shift. One that redefines citizenship as conditional. And if history has taught us anything, it’s that bureaucratic power wielded without guardrails can be weaponized against anyone.
