Civil War has begun! Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki warns of global chaos, backs Bitcoin as the only safe haven
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.

At the core of this chaos, Kiyosaki believes, is a crisis of trust in money itself.

Kiyosaki reiterated his long-standing belief that traditional fiat currencies — which he often calls 'fake money' — are eroding wealth through inflation and central bank manipulation.
'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.
He concluded his tweet with a call to action: 'Save gold, silver, and Bitcoin. Then you will turn… ahead of today's Fourth Turning.'
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.

Kiyosaki has long been a vocal advocate of Bitcoin, especially in times of financial uncertainty. His comments come at a time when Bitcoin continues to trade near record levels amid global inflationary pressures, rising geopolitical tensions, and increasing distrust in traditional banking systems.

'Got to do a better job': Donald Trump claims he dialled Gavin Newsom over LA unrest; governor says 'didn't even get a voicemail'
Gavin Newsom and Donald Trump (File photo) US President Donald Trump on Tuesday reignited tensions with California Governor Gavin Newsom, claiming he had personally called the governor to criticise his handling of the state. "A day ago. Called him up to tell him, got to do a better job, he's doing a bad job. Causing a lot of death and potential death," Trump told reporters when asked, 'When is the last time you spoke with Governor Newsom?' — Acyn (@Acyn) Newsom, however, flatly denied the exchange ever happened. 'There was no call. Not even a voicemail,' he said, adding, 'Americans should be alarmed that a President deploying Marines onto our streets doesn't even know who he's talking to.' The remarks come as Newsom filed an emergency motion in federal court Tuesday to block National Guard members and Marines from participating in immigration raids in Los Angeles. 'Trump is turning the US military against American citizens,' the governor wrote on X. While Trump initially deployed the Guard to protect federal buildings, California officials were recently informed that the Pentagon would expand their role to supporting immigration enforcement. This includes securing perimeters during ICE operations. On Tuesday, ICE posted photos on X showing National Guard troops present as officials detained two men. Commentator Pete Hegseth reshared the images with the caption, 'This We'll Defend.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo Newsom's filing argues the troop deployment will escalate tensions and provoke unrest. A federal judge is set to hear the case Thursday. Administration lawyers pushed back, calling the governor's request a 'dangerous' move that could disrupt federal authority. Meanwhile, arrests were made Tuesday in downtown Los Angeles as protests entered their fifth day. Speaking at Fort Bragg, Trump referred to Los Angeles as a 'trash heap,' vowing to 'liberate' the city from criminal elements. 'We will liberate Los Angeles and make it free, clean, and safe again,' he said. Trump's portrayal of the city clashed with its affluent reality , where the average home costs nearly $1 million, according to Zillow — but aligned with his ongoing effort to frame Democratic-led cities as plagued by lawlessness.

DoorDash customer misleading claims row: Did food ordering company fool users with ‘drip pricing'? What we know
DoorDash, a popular food delivery platform, is under fire following a lawsuit filed by Canada's Competition Bureau, alleging the company engaged in 'drip pricing', a deceptive practice that misleads customers by advertising lower prices than what they ultimately pay. The claims suggest DoorDash amassed nearly $1 billion in hidden fees over a decade. The Competition Bureau filed an application with Canada's Competition Tribunal, accusing DoorDash and its Canadian subsidiary of drip pricing, where advertised prices exclude mandatory fees revealed only at checkout. The Bureau claims customers cannot purchase items at the promoted price due to fees like service, delivery, expanded range, small order, and regulatory response fees. Read More: Walmart faces renewed boycott calls over owner Christy Walton's action - Here's what happened The Bureau added that it estimates DoorDash collected nearly $1 billion in mandatory fees from Canadian consumers over nearly a decade. The lawsuit seeks penalties, an end to deceptive pricing, cessation of misrepresenting fees as taxes, and restitution for affected customers. DoorDash called the lawsuit 'misguided and excessive', denying it hides fees or misleads customers. 'Transparency with customers is a top priority at DoorDash. All fees on DoorDash, which support the high-quality operations of our platform, are clearly labeled and disclosed to consumers through the ordering process — including a final review before payment. To be crystal clear, DoorDash does not hide fees from consumers or mislead them in any way,' a spokesperson told The Street.

A 2023 t.-action lawsuit in the US similarly alleged DoorDash's fees, including 'city' or 'regulatory response' charges, mislead consumers into believing they're government-imposed. These fees, kept by DoorDash, circumvent local fee caps, the suit claimed.

HC to examine plea against Batla House demolition today
New Delhi: Delhi High Court is likely to examine on Wednesday a plea against the proposed demolition of alleged illegal constructions in southeast Delhi's Batla House. Earlier, a bench of Justices Girish Kathpalia and Tejas Karia declined to grant an immediate stay on a public interest litigation filed by AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan, challenging the exercise. The court said on Monday that it would examine the matter on June 11, the day of the scheduled demolition, as the matter came up after 6pm. "For submissions on two issues, list the petition on June 11. We are not going to stay it (for now) because we are told that the Supreme Court has declined…" the bench remarked. It also pointed out that the single judge already granted interim relief to several persons in their petitions, but the case at hand was filed in public interest. Justice Karia, while presiding as a single judge earlier on Monday, granted status quo to certain residents. He noted that a similar relief was granted last week and asked Delhi Development Authority to file its response to the new plea in four weeks. The three petitioners before the single judge were challenging the demolition notice passed on May 26 by DDA. Senior advocate Salman Khurshid, representing Khan before the division bench, said the demolition was scheduled for June 11 and urged the court to grant a stay. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo The DDA counsel opposed the plea, saying the petitioner was just an MLA and not an affected party, and Supreme Court already declined protection to the alleged affected parties. HC said it would hear the parties on June 11 and examine if a division bench could deal with the plea when one of the two judges sitting in the bench heard similar petitions by some persons and granted certain reliefs. Demolition notices were affixed on the properties with unauthorised construction following the apex court's directions. On May 7, SC passed an order directing the demolition of alleged illegal constructions.
