    Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Prepper Dad?

    Are you familiar with Robert Kiyosaki? He is best known for the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" series of books. Over 26 million books authored by Kiyosaki have been sold and he is recognized as a financial expert by millions of people across the globe. Well, guess what? Even Robert Kiyosaki is warning that an economic collapse is coming. In fact, Kiyosaki and his team of financial experts are encouraging Americans to stock up on food, guns and precious metals. This is yet another sign of just how close we are to the total collapse of the U.S. Economy. Kiyosaki, who once co-authored a book with Donald Trump entitled Why We Want You To Be Rich is now a full-fledged prepper. As even more prominent Americans start warning that an "economic collapse" is coming do you think that the American people will finally wake up and start paying attention?
    The statements that Robert Kiyosaki makes in the video posted below are absolutely jaw-dropping. Once upon a time he was all about teaching people how they could get rich, but now he is talking about storing food, buying guns, investing in precious metals and preparing for the coming crash.
    The following are 11 of the best Kiyosaki "sound bites" from the video below....

    #1 "when the economy crashes as we predict"
    #2 "the crowds come rushing in to buy gold and silver"
    #3 "we could either go into a depression or we go to hyperinflation"
    #4 "or we could also go to war"
    #5 "buy a gun"
    #6 "I'm preparing"
    #7 "I'm prepared for the worst"
    #8 "so come to my house and I'm armed and dangerous and I'll welcome you"
    #9 "we have food, we have water, we have guns, gold and silver, and cash"
    #10 "the credit card system shuts down, the world shuts down"
    #11 "the supermarkets have less than 3 days supply"
    If you have not seen this video yet, it is definitely worth the 8 minutes that it takes to watch it. Robert Kiyosaki seems to be extremely alarmed about the future of the U.S. economy....
    It certainly seems as though the entire financial culture in America is changing.

    Once upon a time everyone wanted to know how to get rich.
    Now everyone wants to know how to survive the collapse that is coming.
    As I have written about previously, even people like Tony Robbins and Donald Trump are warning that an economic collapse is coming.
    Economic pessimism is seemingly everywhere and almost every recent survey indicates that the American people are losing faith in the U.S. economy.
    For example, in a recent article I noted that 48 percent of Americans believe that it is likely that another great Depression will begin within the next 12 months.

    According to Gallup, the percentage of Americans that lack confidence in U.S. banks is now at an all-time high of 36%. Back in 2007, just 14% of Americans lacked confidence in U.S. banks.
    In order for society to function correctly, people need to be able to trust each other and they need to be able to trust the major institutions that hold society together.
    Once confidence in our major societal institutions is gone, it is going to be incredibly difficult to get it back.
    Sadly, the reality is that many of our major financial institutions have been untrustworthy for a very long time. It is just that the American people are only just now starting to wake up to that fact.

    For example, the Federal Reserve has been at the heart of our economic problems for decades but most Americans have not realized it.
    But now that is starting to change. According to one recent poll, only 30% of Americans currently view Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke favorably.
    The American people are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with an economic system where the vast majority of the rewards flow to Wall Street, the big banks, the biggest corporations and the ultra-wealthy.
    According to the Washington Post, the top 0.1% of all income earners in the United States took home 2.6% of the nation's earnings in 1975. By 2008, the top 0.1% were taking home 10.4% of the nation's earnings.

    Re: Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Prepper Dad?

    The Washington Post also says that after adjusting for inflation, the average income of the top 0.1% of all Americans jumped by 385 percent between 1970 and 2008 while the average income for the bottom 90 percent of all Americans actually fell by one percent.
    The sad truth is that income inequality in the United States has become a major problem. A very small sliver of the population is reaping almost all of the rewards and the middle class is being ripped to shreds. Conservatives, liberals, Democrats, Republicans and libertarians should all be alarmed by this.

    Meanwhile, the national debt continues to explode. Right now, U.S. government debt is expanding at a rate of $40,000 per second.
    Every single minute we steal another 2 million dollars away from our children and our grandchildren.
    But if we stop this theft it would throw the U.S. economy into a horrible economic crisis that would be far worse than what we are experiencing right now.
    That is why the vast majority of our politicians do not have the guts to do it.
    We truly are caught between a rock and a hard place.
    But people like Robert Kiyosaki can see what is coming, and they are getting prepared.
    Are you prepared?
    Many of our young people have come up with their own versions of an "economic stimulus plan". In past articles I have documented many of the signs that society is collapsing, including the disturbing rise of the "mob robbery" phenomenon.
    Well, just the other day there was another very shocking mob robbery in the city of Philadelphia.
    On Thursday, a mob of 40 teens and young adults invaded a Sears department store on 69th Street, grabbed all of the merchandise that they could carry, and stormed right back out again.
    We are starting to see these kinds of large scale crimes happen from coast to coast.
    So what is going to happen to America if the economy experiences the kind of full out collapse that Robert Kiyosaki is talking about?
    We live in very interesting times.
    I hope that you are getting prepared.

            Perhaps Robert Kiyosaki is fearful that he may lose his 80 million dollars by telling people to buy houses on margins and flip them as the economy ran the bubble. He never was an advocate of strict lending laws, encouraged off shoring of production to build widgets and was all about section 8 land lording. He help build and profit from the America that he now fears.

            He was/is the media of frenzy and not rational, sustainable growth through responsible investment. It makes sense his echo which bounces back sounds different now.
            Without friends none of this is possible.

              "Don't want respect, don't need it. That's why you guys have such an issue like peacocks fighting for position on an internet forum. It's ridiculous on its face. If I earn the respect of those I respect I will be just fine. I actually have all I need from people I trust so I don't need accolades from the likes of you. Discontent leads to meaningful change and that's what I am after. Meaningful change, not the flavor of the week you guys pursue. The idiotic political crap means zero in the long run.
              I don't want my children or theirs subjected to the soundbite lifestyle you guys adore. It's like the town gossips at the beauty parlor, same crap nothing changes. Boring people leading boring lives doing their best to get other people to buy into nothing all day long."

                          I'm not kidding here, if you want to be a leader at anything, your followers need to know exactly what sheet music your playing from. It is a serious question. Do you have an answer?

                          You already know we live off the land here, and that we're as armed as the next Mainer or more, so what exactly are you trying to tell me to do here. What flavor is this kool-aide you've in your posession ? What am I supposed to do heir Mark, huh, what?

                            First off I ain't no leader and never claimed to be. Second my only care is for those following behind us and the mess we are leaving for them, first on that list is liberty and second a release from debt slavery their selfish fathers put on them.
                            After that I would hope that some people with sense would prepare best as they can for two reasons, one to be safe if it all goes bad and second to be independent of the system so they are not sucked into following evil because of need. It's happened before.

                            Beyond that a reminder that we are all individuals and to reject anyone doing their best to shove you into a box of their own design.

                              Exactly, One of their leaders had an insurance question a short while back. What a waste of money on something that probably won't happen.
