Best known as the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad"―the bestselling personal finance book―Robert Kiyosaki is an entrepreneur, educator, and investor who believes that each of us has the power to take control of our financial future. Joined by his co-author Edward Siedle, they warned that we are on the cusp of the greatest retirement crisis in history. They are particularly concerned about public pensions for groups such as schoolteachers, firefighters, and law enforcement, which are estimated to be underfunded by the staggering amount of 9 to 14 trillion dollars.
Siedle, a former attorney with the SEC, has forensically investigated retirement plans, and found evidence of "pension looting" all over the world. Most pensions are poorly managed and misrepresent their investment performance, Siedle suggested. It's projected that globally there will soon be 2 billion people over the age of 60 (more elderly than ever before), he added, but "only a very small minority of these folks have enough personal savings to pay for or survive decades of retirement." It's imperative, Kiyosaki and Siedle argued, that people take an active role in understanding their pensions and 401ks, and how their investments are handled. There are two kinds of investments, Kiyosaki added-- public (stocks) and private (real estate). He was able to accumulate wealth by acquiring real estate, mainly by leveraging debt.

In the latter half, psychic medium Dr. Christian von Lahr spoke about Star Seeds, entities (in addition to extraterrestrials) that have interacted with our planet, and tinkered with human DNA over the eons. We must eventually become Star Seeds ourselves, he contended, as ultimately, conditions on Earth will become less favorable for our existence. For instance, he cited how the M87 galaxy (in the Virgo Super Cluster) is heading toward us and, in 50-65 million years, may destroy our atmosphere, though we could begin to feel the effects of its huge energy plume far sooner. However, M87 and its planets could actually present itself to humans as a kind of getaway vehicle as it nears our location, he offered.
He also updated his work on direct communication with other realms of consciousness, including nature spirits, and leprechauns. There is evidence for these beings in old cave art-- such as their handprints, he detailed. Leprechauns and gnomes seek to bring out the inner child in humans, and occasionally grant wishes to them, he noted. "They know us better than we know ourselves," and at times can telepathically communicate or even make themselves visible to us from their higher realm. In the past, it was easier to see them, as we shared a closer spiritual density with them, he observed. The nature spirits inhabit the etheric plane, von Lahr explained, which is also part of our energy make-up, though they exist in a purer form of it.
During the last half-hour, George played audio of a comic studio visit from Dr. Morgus.
