Synopsis
In a now-viral tweet, Kiyosaki noted that the unrest extends beyond the United States, highlighting increasing turmoil in countries like Japan, China, and France. He suggested that the world may be heading into a phase of broad-based instability.
Robert Kiyosaki, the bestselling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued a chilling warning on social media, declaring that a “civil war has begun,” as ICE raids in Los Angeles reportedly erupted into violence. Kiyosaki paints a bleak picture of what lies ahead — a “long, hot, violent summer” not just in the US but around the world.
In a tweet that has since gone viral, Kiyosaki said the unrest isn’t limited to the United States. He pointed to growing turmoil in Japan, China, France, and other countries, suggesting that the world is entering a period of widespread instability.
“This turmoil is described in the FOURTH TURNING by Strauss and Howe, who posit that society operates in a series of 80-year cycles,” Kiyosaki wrote. He linked the current global discontent to previous historic turning points such as the Great Depression, the American Civil War, and the American Revolution.

“The issue is our bankers are stealing the wealth of the people via counterfeit money the central bankers print,” he said.
According to Kiyosaki, central banks are enabling a silent financial war on the population. His solution? Move away from government-issued money and adopt what he calls “sound money” — gold, silver, and especially Bitcoin.
“Gold and silver are God’s money. Bitcoin is people’s money,” he declared.
Echoing sentiments he has voiced before, Kiyosaki urged his followers to “become your own bank” by holding assets that can’t be debased by monetary policy.
“Take control of your wealth. Stop allowing bankers to steal your wealth via taxation and inflation. Stop saving fake money,” he warned.
