Key Takeaways: Robert Kiyosaki warns of civil unrest in the U.S., calling it the start of a “fourth turning.” He blames central banks for eroding public wealth and urges investing in Bitcoin, gold, and silver. Kiyosaki predicts Bitcoin could reach $1 million within a decade as trust in fiat declines. Robert Kiyosaki, author of the influential book Rich Dad Poor Dad , has issued a stark warning about rising unrest in the United States, drawing connections between violent incidents and deeper economic turmoil.

ICE raids in Los Angeles erupt into mass violence… I believe we and the world are in for a long, hot violent summer.” The statement comes amid growing political division and economic instability. Kiyosaki Links U.S. Unrest to ‘Fourth Turning’ Crisis Cycle Kiyosaki tied the unrest to what historians William Strauss and Neil Howe have described as the “fourth turning,” a cyclical period of crisis that reshapes the fabric of society. Previous fourth turnings, according to the theory, include the Great Depression and World War II, the Civil War, and the American Revolution. Kiyosaki suggests that the current upheaval will be driven by public backlash against central banking practices, especially the sustained printing of money and inflationary policies. He argues that these policies erode public wealth, framing them as a form of institutional theft. “The issue is our bankers are stealing the wealth of the people via fake money, counterfeit money the central bankers print,” he wrote. He added that this era is ending, and that people should turn to alternative stores of value. As a solution, Kiyosaki is urging individuals to protect their financial futures by investing in hard assets. “Sound money, gold, silver, and Bitcoin take away the power from the corrupt bankers,” he noted. He describes gold and silver as “God’s money” and Bitcoin as “people’s money.” CIVIL WAR has begun. ICE raids in Los Angeles erupt into mass violence. BIG QUESTION: Will it spread?
