Warnings from Robert Kiyosaki
Renowned author Robert Kiyosaki, best known for his book “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” has issued a stark warning to his vast audience on X, illuminating what he perceives as impending civil unrest and economic turmoil within the United States. With a following of over 2.7 million, Kiyosaki suggests that the nation is on the verge of experiencing a significant crisis, referred to as a “fourth turning,” which he believes could lead to pivotal societal shifts.
Indicators of a Crisis
In his latest remarks, Kiyosaki pointed to recent violent incidents connected to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions in Los Angeles as indicators of a larger problem. He ominously stated:
“Civil War has begun…will it spiral further? My prediction: we’re in for a long, turbulent summer of violence.”
The Concept of ‘Fourth Turning’
The term “fourth turning” is derived from a theory established by historians William Strauss and Neil Howe, which posits that American history exhibits a cyclical pattern of crises approximately every 80 years. These periods, according to their framework, include significant events such as the Civil War, the Great Depression coupled with World War II, and the American Revolution.
Financial Implications and Advice
Kiyosaki highlights that this current crisis could stem from growing discontent over the actions of central banks regarding money production and currency devaluation. He stresses that a backlash against these monetary policies might instigate a widespread financial shift.
To safeguard against the turmoil he predicts, Kiyosaki advocates for investments in precious metals such as gold and silver, alongside cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. He articulated a belief shared by many that the fundamental question at hand is the very definition of money itself:
“Bankers are robbing the public with their counterfeit currency, and I believe that era is nearing its end. Real wealth comes from sound money—gold, silver, and Bitcoin diminish the power of corrupt financial institutions.”
He continued to emphasize that these assets should be seen as tools for individuals to regain control over their finances. Kiyosaki urges people to stop relying on what he describes as “fake money” and start saving in tangible forms of wealth:
“By doing this, you’ll be prepared as we navigate this current fourth turning. Stay vigilant and protect your wealth.”
