Robert Kiyosaki Warns Public to Exit Fake Money System, As Civil War Has Started

Robert Kiyosaki is once again sounding the alarm. The Rich Dad Poor Dad author issued a sweeping warning on social media, linking rising unrest in the U.S. with a deeper financial breakdown. He urged people to protect themselves with gold, silver, and bitcoin.

Good to know

• Kiyosaki calls the current period a “Fourth Turning,” a time of deep national crisis.
• He blames central banks for creating “fake money” and eroding trust in fiat.
• His go-to assets remain bitcoin, gold, and silver, which he sees as alternatives to collapsing currency systems.

Robert Kiyosaki believes the United States is already in the middle of a civil breakdown—and that a full-scale economic collapse may not be far behind. On June 9, he took to social media platform X to issue a blunt warning: “Civil war has begun. ICE raids in Los Angeles erupt into mass violence. I believe we and the world are in for a long, hot, violent summer.”

Kiyosaki tied the growing unrest to a historical pattern known as “The Fourth Turning,” a theory by historians William Strauss and Neil Howe. According to the theory, every 80 years or so, societies face periods of disruption and restructuring. Past examples include the Great Depression and World War II, the American Civil War, and the Revolutionary War. Kiyosaki sees today’s conditions as another such turning point.

At the core of his concern is the monetary system. Kiyosaki has long argued that central banks have undermined public trust by printing what he calls “fake money.” He describes inflation and monetary expansion as “legalized theft” and says central bankers are draining wealth from the public.

“The issue is our bankers are stealing the wealth of the people via fake money, counterfeit money the central bankers print,” Kiyosaki wrote. He added that he expects the age of banking dominance to end soon: “I trust the era of bankers ripping off the world is coming to an end.”

In place of fiat currency, Kiyosaki again promoted gold, silver, and bitcoin. He often refers to precious metals as “God’s money”and bitcoin as “people’s money.” He argues that these assets allow individuals to take back financial control from governments and institutions.

His warning is not new. For years, Kiyosaki has spoken out against the dollar and the risk of inflation, and stressing the potential of Bitcoin as a hedge. But his latest message goes a step further—framing the financial collapse as a deeper conflict that blends economic, social, and political instability.
