Best-selling author Robert Kiyosaki, known for Rich Dad Poor Dad, has warned of potential civil unrest and economic turmoil in the United States. In a recent post on the social platform X, Kiyosaki told his 2.7 million followers that the country may be undergoing a “fourth turning,” a term for a major societal crisis that triggers widespread change.
He stated, “Civil War has begun. ICE raids in Los Angeles erupt into mass violence. Big Question: will it spread? My answer: I believe we and the world are in for a long, hot violent summer.”
The “fourth turning” concept, developed by historians William Strauss and Neil Howe, suggests that roughly every 80 years, America and Western civilization experience a crisis that reshapes social order. Previous periods identified include the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the Great Depression coupled with World War II.
Kiyosaki anticipates this ongoing crisis will lead to a backlash against central banks’ policies of money printing and currency devaluation, resulting in a major financial overhaul. He advocates protecting wealth through investments in gold, silver, and Bitcoin as safeguards against instability.
“I believe, as do many others, the major issue being resolved is: ‘What is money?’ Our bankers are stealing the wealth of the people via fake money, counterfeit money the central bankers print. I trust the era of bankers ripping off the world is coming to an end. Sound money, gold, silver, and Bitcoin take away the power from the corrupt bankers. Gold and silver are ‘God’s money.’ Bitcoin is ‘people’s money.’ Take control of your wealth. Stop allowing bankers to steal your wealth via taxation and inflation. Become your own bank. Stop saving fake money. Save gold, silver, and Bitcoin. Then you will turn ahead of today’s fourth turning.”
