A conversation in an alumni group about Robert Koyasaki's prediction about Venezuela

VENEZUELA CONFIRMS WHAT I’VE WARNED ABOUT FOR YEARS
People say, “Robert, you predicted Venezuela.”
No, I didn’t.
I predicted what happens when money dies.
For decades, I’ve said the same thing in my books, interviews, and speeches:
When governments destroy their currency, force replaces finance.
That’s exactly what we’re watching now.
On January 3, 2026, the United States captured Venezuela’s sitting president and imposed a full oil blockade.
Not because of ideology.
Not because of democracy.
Because the system broke.
This is the end stage I’ve been warning about.
WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS
This isn’t prophecy.
It’s history.
- Fiat money always fails.
- Debt always grows faster than income.
And when trust collapses, governments choose power over promises.
Venezuela followed the script perfectly.
They printed money to survive.
For a moment, it worked.
- Then inflation exploded.
- Savings were destroyed.
- Capital fled.
- Talent escaped.
And eventually, the country lost control of the only thing keeping it alive:
OIL
Once a nation loses control of its primary cash-flow asset, the problem is no longer economic.
It becomes geopolitical.
And geopolitics doesn’t negotiate.
HERE’S THE PART MOST PEOPLE ARE MISSING
This wasn’t just about Venezuela.
And it definitely wasn’t just about politics.
For years, China had quietly become the primary buyer and financial backstop for sanctioned oil — from both Iran and Venezuela.
China didn’t need to own the oil fields.
It controlled:
- The buyers
- The shipping routes
- The payment channels
- The discounts
- The debt arrangements
In other words, China controlled the cash flow.
Venezuela’s oil wasn’t just fueling cars.
It was fueling China’s energy security — outside the U.S.-controlled dollar system.
That’s the real threat.
So what did the U.S. do?
It didn’t “break” Venezuela.
It broke China’s access.
By blockading Venezuelan oil, the U.S. didn’t just remove a president.
It cut off barrels.
It disrupted supply chains.
It reclaimed leverage over energy flows.
This wasn’t a military move.
It was a system move.
Oil is not just energy.
Oil is currency.
Oil is leverage.
Oil is power.
WHY THIS IS NOT “JUST VENEZUELA”
People always say, “That can’t happen here.”
That’s what people said in:
- Argentina
- Turkey
- Lebanon
- Venezuela
The lesson isn’t geography.
The lesson is incentives.
When debt is unpayable…
when inflation won’t fall…
when trust evaporates…
Leaders don’t choose transparency.
They choose control.
Money systems don’t collapse politely.
They collapse strategically.
WHY I OWN REAL ASSETS
This is why I’ve said for years:
Don’t trust paper.
Don’t trust promises.
Don’t trust politicians to protect your purchasing power.
Gold doesn’t need permission.
Silver doesn’t need confidence.
Real estate doesn’t vanish when currencies fail.
Businesses with real cash flow survive resets.
This isn’t fear.
It’s preparation.
I didn’t predict Venezuela.
I predicted that when money stops working…
the rules change.
They always do.
ZA : And I predict Iran will explode not because of America and its resident pet dog, but because of its debt based albeit Islamic banking system. I know, I was one of its many annual guests of honour Islamic bankers in the 90s they invite to Iran to showcase their economy. God have given every nation the resources to survive on their own; provided they practise the correct money system. If a nation practises equity in its money system jobs will be abundant, economic output and the country will thrive. No country ever needs foreign currency to thrive. Local currency will be enough to build up the economy of any country, and any unpopulated island for that matter. It is mental slavery of the highest order to think you need foreign currency to develop your economy. Iran was the first country to develop a full fledged Islamic Banking system.
They were admired by all Muslim countries including Malaysia. They did everything bar the final stage. That is to migrate from debt to equity Islamic banking. The excuses has always been risk and not enough human resources. But did not God give us the facility to think?! Yes there are solutions, perfectly workable solutions. But the weight of western influence can cloud your thoughts. Your revolution was huge but looks like you may have missed out certain things. I will be interviewed by Iranian TV this Saturday. Let's hope there will be an opportunity to talk about the current people uprising in Iran, and it's root causes.
Interviewed on Iran TV this morning Alhamdulillah
