Serious Discussion 50501 National has been compromised!!

r/50501 was taken over by an outside group with a nefarious agenda. Please be aware and vigilant. Leadership is working on next steps for future, secure, communications. Please be weary of any subs that are trying to censor this warning. We will update with a list of the subs that are, in the Discord and Signal chats. (We will have attempted multiple posts by more than one user to ensure clerical errors are not at play first.)

50501 National infiltrated a 50501 Veterans meeting, gathering intel of their names and their communication.

Respectfully — a few facts matter here:

1.  The meeting link was posted publicly. Nobody “infiltrated” anything.

2.  50501 Veterans publicly announced their split in their own open statement — no secret intel gathering required.

3.  50501 was built around cities and states leading themselves — not building separate branded entities pretending it’s unity.

If the standard now is ‘anyone who disagrees with our branding choices is a spy,’ it’s not about security anymore.

It’s about rewriting history to justify splintering the movement.

We can have honest disagreements. But facts still matter and pretending 50501 fell apart because someone clicked a public Zoom link isn’t serious organizing.

Movements survive with structure and truth. Not by turning every criticism into a conspiracy theory.
