"Constitutional Contradictions: Examining America's Legacy of Collateralizing Labor and the Legal Battle Against Exploitation"

-

In America's history, the principle of collateralizing the future productivity of individuals has manifested in various forms, including the establishment of the national debt by Alexander Hamilton and the exploitation of the slave system managed by Wall Street financiers and Southern practitioners.


Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, advocated for the assumption of state debts by the federal government and the creation of a national debt. While Hamilton believed that a national debt could promote stability and creditworthiness, critics argued that it effectively collateralized the future productivity of American citizens to fund government expenditures. By issuing bonds and securities backed by the promise of future tax revenues, the federal government effectively obligated future generations to repay the debt, thus encumbering their labor and productivity.


Additionally, the institution of slavery in the United States provided another glaring example of collateralizing individuals' future productivity. Wall Street financiers and Southern practitioners profited from the exploitation of enslaved labor, using slaves as collateral for loans and financial transactions. Enslaved individuals were considered property whose labor could be monetized and leveraged to secure loans, purchase land, or fund economic ventures. This system not only perpetuated the economic interests of slaveholders but also perpetuated the systemic oppression and dehumanization of enslaved people.


Despite these practices, the United States Constitution, particularly the 13th Amendment, explicitly outlaws both forms of exploitation. The 13th Amendment, ratified in 1865, abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime. By prohibiting slavery in all its forms, including the exploitation of individuals' labor and productivity for financial gain, the Constitution sought to safeguard the rights and dignity of all citizens. Thus, both the collateralization of the national debt and the exploitation of the slave system run counter to the principles enshrined in the Constitution, highlighting the ongoing struggle to uphold justice and equality in American society.

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...
