Kiyosaki Warns of Civil Unrest and Economic Upheaval
Author Robert Kiyosaki, known for his bestseller “Rich Dad’s Poor Dad,” has raised alarms about the potential for civil unrest and economic turmoil in the United States. In a recent post on social media platform X, he shared his thoughts with his 2.7 million followers, suggesting that America might be entering a “fourth turn,” a phase characterized by significant social change.
Kiyosaki stated, “The civil war has begun. The attack in Los Angeles escalated into severe violence. The pressing question is: Will this spread? My belief is that we may face a long, hot, and violent summer ahead.”
The concept of the “fourth turn” originates from historians William Strauss and Neil Howe, who propose that every 80 years, Western civilization undergoes a crisis that disrupts and transforms existing societal orders. Previous “turns” included events like the Great Depression, World War II, the Civil War, and the American Revolution.
Kiyosaki connects the upcoming fourth turn to discontent over practices like central bank money printing and currency depreciation, which he predicts will lead to a financial restructuring. He sees gold, silver, and Bitcoin as effective tools for navigating this uncertain economic landscape.
“The main issue we need to confront is, ‘What is money?’” he commented. “The problem is that our bankers are eroding people’s wealth through counterfeit money that they generate. It’s my view that the era of bankers exploiting society is coming to a close. Real money—gold, silver, and Bitcoin—can diminish the power of corrupt financial institutions.”
Kiyosaki emphasized his long-held belief that gold and silver represent “God’s money,” while Bitcoin serves as “people’s money.” He encourages individuals to take control of their wealth, urging them not to let bankers diminish their resources through inflation and taxes. “Stop saving fake money. Instead, store gold, silver, and Bitcoin. We’re on the brink of today’s fourth turn—stay cautious,” he advised.
