George Bailey is a Fraud

-

Do you find it interesting that the two bankers in Its A Wonderful Life both wind up miserable? Of course George Bailey is the altruistic sacrificial hero of 1946 and subsequently gets bailed out by the community at the end - a foreshadowing of the 2008 financial crisis. But between Potter and George Bailey, George, being the more sacrificial of the two, ends up suicidal after his altruistic moral code strips away his ability to leave Bedford Falls for college and travel. Again, if it weren’t for the bailout at the end, I wonder how we might have interpreted the movie differently.


Elevating the need of others leads to mooching (consuming the unearned), bankruptcy (accounting for the theft), and suicide (a belief that your life is not worth living). Even the angelic intervention in the end is a reinforcement of sacrifice, showing George that his life is wonderful because of how other people have benefited from it. What about George? What about George getting what he wants? Isn’t that what makes life worth living, pursuing your own values and goals?


It’s a Wonderful Life was a movie of the age, preaching a doctrine of self immolation and self sacrifice at the expense of personal ambition, with a promise of miraculous intervention from “your friends” if your sacrifice leads you to bankruptcy and suicide. 


No wonder America became a shadow of its former glory in the 20th century and bred generations who beleived they could break the rules of the economy, violated the laws of accounting and sacrifice their values and ambitions so long as their intention was for the good of others. 


George Bailey was a fraud. His moral code told him to care for anybody but himself, to hate himself if it meant serving someone else. This is the morality of suicide and death. We are seeing the consequences of treating George as the model American hero all around us and there will be miracles to bailout admirers of George Bailey. Perhaps in 2023 we can rethink the movie. It’s A Wonderful Life, not because you sacrifice it to the need of others, but if you earn it through your own effort, productivity, and trade.


Lesson: 

If you adopt the morality of sacrifice, you become a begger and ignore the wants or desires of the producers. Eventually you’ll run out of products to beg for, leading to scarcity and a miserable death. 


If you adopt the morality of self worth, you become a producer and a trader, and ignore the wants and desires of the beggers. Eventually you’ll run out of beggers, leading to abundance and a wonderful life.

Zachary Moore v. Alliant Credit Union et al. (2025) Affirmative Opinion in the Voice of Justice Alito

  Supreme Court of the United States Zachary Moore v. Alliant Credit Union et al. Opinion of the Court by the voice of Justice Alito Delivered January 14, 2025 Today, this Court renders a decision of profound constitutional and societal importance. At issue is whether the foreclosure proceedings initiated by Alliant Credit Union against Mr. Zachary Moore—based on a mortgage loan derived from fiat currency—violated his constitutional rights under the Fifth, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth Amendments. This case also raises broader questions about the legality of a monetary system that facilitates perpetual debt cycles through fiat currency and usury. After careful consideration, we hold that the foreclosure proceedings, as applied to Mr. Moore, constitute an unconstitutional deprivation of his rights to property and due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Further, we find that the systemic exploitation inherent in the fiat currency system and its application to the facts of...

Citing RICO Violations to stop unlawful debt collections

Who is Zach Moore? and what to know about my movement If you’re reading this, take it as a call to prepare—for yourself, your family, and the world around you. At the heart of my movement is a simple but powerful truth:  any contract secured with a lie, or a claim not backed by anything real (like the U.S. dollar and debt), cannot be enforced.  Moreover, those who attempt to collect on these fraudulent contracts are committing crimes and are liable to RICO charges for perpetuating a system built on deception. I’m Zachary Moore, and I’m leading a movement to destroy the U.S. dollar, bankrupt billionaires, and end the tyranny of usury. I grew up in a trailer in Alabama, surrounded by the poverty and oppression that debt creates. I worked my way out, earning $550,000 a year as a top sales consultant, but in 2023, I realized I was part of the problem—a system built on lies, fiat currency, and the exploitation of human labor. So, I walked away. I quit my lucrative job, defaulted on...

Response to Alliant Credit Union

  Re: Loan Number XXXX To whom it may concern, My name is Zachary Moore, owner of the property at [address redacted]. I received a letter in the mail from Alliant Credit Union dated December 15, 2023 citing information regarding a mortgage contract between myself and Alliant. I am challenging the validity of this contract.  As you know, in order for a contract to be valid, both parties must put up valid property for consideration. Without consideration, no contract can be lawfully valid.  This property must be rightfully owned by each party.  In the case of Alliant, the money loaned would need to be an asset on Alliant’s balance sheet prior to closing. As the loanee, I put up my own property for valid consideration. I put up a promissory note representing my ownership of my work and labor, a down payment of nearly $100,000, and title to the property at [address redacted] What property did Alliant put up? Please provide evidence that Alliant provided me, the loaner wi...
