(Natural News)—For Japanese-American entrepreneur and famed author Robert Kiyosaki, Americans should veer away from being brainwashed that working for the paper dollar, saving and investing for it, would keep them afloat amid the economic collapse.
He said that since the dollar was taken off the gold standard in line with President Richard Nixon’s series of economic measures undertaken in response to increasing inflation in 1971, the U.S. dollar became debt. “Yet people are so indoctrinated into working for this (dollar), and saving this and investing this for more paper. That makes no sense to me,” the author of the no. 1 financial awareness book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” told hosts Mike Adams and Todd Pitner during his September 26 appearance on “Decentralize.TV.”
Here is what he does, he said: “Number one, I don’t save money, I save silver and gold. I also use debt to invest.” He further recommended that the public study because when any “freaking idiot” can buy an Apple share, he just calls his stockbroker up and says, “I’ll give you $100, you get that share of Apple.” But he warned that once something “bad happens,” the money can be liquefied that fast. “But if you buy a piece of real estate for $100,000 and you make a mistake, you’re not going to write that baby down.”
He cited his friend Ken McElroy’s book “The ABCs of Real Estate Investing: The Secrets of Finding Hidden Profits Most Investors Miss,” which provided an advanced guide to real estate. “Let’s say I buy a property for a million dollars and I borrow out the $2 million. The property now is 100 percent debt and the company is still throwing cash flow,” he said pointing out that when one has cash flow from nothing, the return is infinite. “You made money out of nothing? Yeah, that’s what financial education is,” he added.
Segueing to self-custody and decentralization, Adams raised the value of gold, silver, and cryptocurrency. “Crypto is an honest ledger, right? No one can artificially inflate the supply of Bitcoin, gold and silver in inherent intrinsic value that outlast the fall of civilization throughout history. And also, you can’t just create gold out of thin air, it takes a lot of effort and energy to get it,” the Health Ranger stated.
Kiyosaki agreed saying, that crypto – Bitcoin especially – is off the grid and that is why he likes it. “But it’s blockchain technology, which has integrity. Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury and President Joe Biden have no integrity,” the renowned author said. “So I want something you cannot print. And that’s why I like gold, silver, and Bitcoin.”
The founder of Rich Global LLC and Rich Dad Company, a private financial education company, further backed it up with the impending death of the U.S. dollar as the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) nations have been expanding with the joining of Saudi Arabia and 41 other countries also expressed their intent to be part of the emerging economies.

“With this, the world doesn’t have to use the dollars,” he said looking back in 1944 when USD became the reserve currency of the world. “It was as good as gold then because the U.S. had won World War II and all central banks had to store this in their vaults, like quadrillion dollars sitting in vaults of the Bank of Japan, Bank of Mexico, Bank of England, etc.” So, when the BRICS coin comes in perhaps quadrillions of dollars flood back to the United States, because it’s no longer money, it is going to cause hyperinflation.
How the United States lost powerful nation’s support such as Saudi Arabia
Kiyosaki, meanwhile, said that it is not just Biden’s strong push for the stupid green agenda that alienated Saudi Arabia from the United States. He said that another straw was when the current administration pulled out of Afghanistan. Also, the Bank of International Settlements made gold a tier-one asset. He said: “Up until that time, the USD was a petrodollar. When Biden pulled us out of Afghanistan, the dollar became worthless, it wasn’t worth oil anymore. So, Saudi Arabia says, ‘Why are we backing the United States?'”
Kiyosaki further expressed his observation, after providing a disclaimer that he was not a racist or xenophobic. “If you notice most of the countries that are hanging together are Christian – Canada, America, England, Australia, New Zealand – but Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Iraq, they’re Muslim, while Korea and all the other Buddhists are together. So not only is it race and money, it is by different religions as well. And I think this is going to be the biggest change in overall history.”
The finance expert also warned people of the rumor that there can be a bail-in, which for him is another level of insanity. “But I would take my money out of the bank. I won’t tell anybody where I keep it. I bought a safe someplace. I store my gold and silver in Switzerland because I don’t trust my government,” he revealed.
Adams concurred and added that the future for the American people is going to surprise them because they will find themselves living in deep impoverishment virtually overnight. “Even if they have dollars in the bank, or they think they have a pension or they think they have Social Security. Yeah, you may still get the check, but it’s not going to be able to buy much of anything,” the Brighteon and Natural News founder said.

Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
