We sat down with Prospera Energy Inc.’s (🇺🇸GXRFF — 🇨🇦PEI) CEO Samuel David and CFO Chris Ludtke take a deep dive into the company’s groundbreaking latest reserve report showing a staggering 508% increase in proven developed producing reserve value. This marks a significant turning point for the company, underlining the untapped potential of Prospera’s reservoirs and laying out upcoming drilling plans. They discuss the transformative effects of this development on Prospera’s trajectory, emphasizing the expansion opportunities and the drilling initiatives set to commence, particularly focusing on the strategic exploitation of their largest, and mostly undeveloped core property in Saskatchewan.
Throughout the discussion, CFO Ludtke stressed the report’s financial implications, how it opens up new non-dilutive financing sources and substantially elevates the company’s net present value (NPV). This financial leap forward is a major game-changer. NPV is now almost triple Prospera’s market cap, showing a gap between market perception and results. The conversation also covers the operational aspects, shedding light on Prospera’s development program which encompasses addressing delayed production, enhancing infrastructure, and mitigating the impact of seasonal production declines.
CFO Ludtke further explains Prospera’s financing strategies, which will support the forthcoming drilling activities, without any further dilution. This aspect is critical as it underscores Prospera’s commitment to reducing capital outlay through the utilization of existing infrastructure and the strategic addition of experienced personnel, all aimed at bolstering the planned development.

This is still one of our largest holdings and we’re looking forward to a highly productive 2024.
When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.
In the current governmental climate, obeying one’s conscience and speaking truth to the power of the police state can easily render you an “enemy of the state.”
The government’s list of so-called “enemies of the state” is growing by the day.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is merely one of the most visible victims of the police state’s war on dissidents and whistleblowers.
What’s the best way to survive a financial crisis with your wealth intact? The answer may surprise you.
Many investors would say, “Sell everything, and wait until it’s over!” That’s almost never good advice.
In the first place, some assets perform well in crises, and you should hold onto those. Secondly, how do you know a crisis has actually started?
What seems like a crisis may just be a short-term bump in the road. And finally, how do you know when it’s over? There were numerous 20% stock rallies during the Great Depression even as stocks were grinding lower over a three-year crash.
Every time there is talk of raising taxes on the super-rich, some of whom pay less in taxes than plumbers and teachers through a tricked-up tax dodge known as “carried interest,” the billionaires launch a concerted effort to scapegoat struggling seniors living on an average monthly Social Security retirement benefit of $1772.51.
The inability of younger Americans to save enough for retirement couldn’t possibly have anything to do with Wall Street gobbling up two-thirds of lifetime retirement savings in fees, as Frontline documented back in 2013.
20-City Index drops for 3rd month in a row, forms Double Top. Only Washington DC sets new all-time high.
The home price index for the 20 metros that the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Index covers declined by 0.1% from the prior month, the third month in a row of declines. Year-over-year, the index was up 6.6%.
Year-over-year, wait a minute… today’s “January” 2024 reading is three months off the October 2023 peak, while January 2023 was seven months off the June 2022 peak. Year-over-year comparisons are meaningful when the index is very seasonal, and comparisons match the high in the current year to the high in the prior year, and the low in the current year to the low in the prior year. But this is not the case here. The highs are in different seasons (June v. October), because they were caused by factors other than the slight (if any) seasonality of the Case-Shiller index.
On June 5, 1947, US Secretary of State George Marshall gave the commencement speech at Harvard University.
This was just two years after the end of World War II, and in this speech, he first proposed giving $12 billion (approximately $170 billion in 2024 dollars) in economic assistance to help rebuild Western European economies ravaged by the war.
But it was about more than just throwing money at the problem.
What became known as the Marshall Plan was also meant to remove trade barriers, increase economic cooperation between countries, and prevent the spread of communism.
When I awoke early on Tuesday morning, I was stunned to learn that the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore had collapsed. We are being told that it was a tragic “accident” and that there is no evidence that any foul play was involved. Hopefully that is true. But no matter how it was caused, this tragedy is going to have an enormous impact on U.S. supply chains. And of course this comes at a really bad time, because Houthi missile strikes in the Red Sea and low water levels in the Panama Canal have been putting a tremendous amount of strain on global supply chains recently.
According to Bloomberg, it appears that the Port of Baltimore will be “out of commission indefinitely”…

Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said on Wednesday that independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is “the most Radical Left Candidate in the race” and that he is President Joe Biden’s “Political Opponent, not mine.”
The 45th president took to Truth Social early Wednesday morning after Kennedy Jr. selected Nicole Shanahan, a leftist “criminal justice” advocate who appears to have donated thousands of dollars to President Joe Biden in the 2020 cycle:
Climate engineering researcher Dane Wigington says it looks like the destructive climate engineering operation that has been going on for decades is finally coming to the attention of the public with new legislation happening in states like Tennessee. Terms like “chemtrails” are used to hide the massive harm being done to the climate. Tennessee is taking action because the harm being done to the “public welfare” with everything from heavy metals, aluminum and nanoparticles being sprayed on everyone to manipulate the climate. Of course, there is no public discussion, let alone public approval, of this evil weather warfare that is well established climate Engineering science since just after WWII. With the Tennessee legislation, we may finally be getting enough public awareness to STOP spraying, poisoning and climate damage being done without public knowledge or permission. Is the Tennessee climate engineering “ban” good news? Wigington explains, “This is extremely good news. The key point here is this raising awareness and credibility for this issue. Clearly, whatever one state passes over its airspace is not going to stop the fallout coming from upwind. You would have to ban this over the whole planet to stop theses toxic particulate matter from saturating all of us. That said, this is extremely important in raising awareness. The Senate bill is 2691 and the House bill is 2063, and it’s being voted on tomorrow (Wednesday 3/27/24 in Tennessee) . . . . The interesting thing is all who are voting for this are Republicans, but this should not be a political issue. The reason why the Democrats are not voting for this is they believe anyone trying to bring attention to the climate engineering issue is somehow trying to dodge the fact that the climate is damaged. That is the furthest thing from the truth. What we are saying at GeoEngineeringWatch.org is how can there be any legitimate discussion about climate anything without addressing this issue first and foremost. . . .On the current course, no one gets out alive. I know that is an incredibly hard pill to swallow, but it is the fact of the matter. . . . What does that mean for all of us? Do we sit down and do nothing? No. We try to bring this issue (Geoengineering) to light, which is, at this moment in time, the single most destructive factor of all human activity. It is the single most destructive problem we face short of nuclear cataclysm. If together we can expose this and stop it and allow the planet to respond to the damage done with whatever life support systems that are left . . . people need to wake up while we can still make a difference. We are running out of time.”
Globalists know that nothing drives public policy so much as the fear of impending death. Nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles may have scared the snot out of anyone living through the Cold War, but they were (and still are) the gifts that keep on giving for the military-industrial complex and national security surveillance State. The more catastrophic the consequences of any perceived threat, the more likely that otherwise skeptical human beings will hand over their freedoms in exchange for the elusive promise of personal security. Political systems specialize in exploiting this “Save Me!” impulse for maximum leverage. “Looming apocalypse” is Big Government’s best salesman every year.
Ghost stories about “global warming” work the same way. If voters can be convinced that their economic freedom is leading to humanity’s extinction, then they will accept costly regulations and “green energy”-induced inflation. If they can be brainwashed into believing that hydrocarbon energy is evil, then they will actively protest for a future with intermittent yet expensive electric power.
Since late February, the prices of both COMEX gold and COMEX silver have seen a nice rally. With each move up, we always see changes in the positioning of market participants, and this latest move is no different.
This week we’ll again discuss the most recent Commitment of Traders reports from the U.S. CFTC. These reports are surveyed at the COMEX close every Tuesday and then released three days later—sometimes longer if there’s a U.S. government holiday in between. Because of the delay in reporting, Commitment of Traders (CoT) data cannot generally be used for trading purposes. Instead, if you know historical CoT trends you can use the data to help you find price trends, and that’s what we’ll try to do today.
New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed another $2.4 billion in spending on illegal immigrants in her latest budget proposal, in addition to the $1.9 billion the state spent on ‘migrant care’ in 2023.
Politico reports that Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams had previously agreed to allocate $1.1 billion for illegals that have made their way to New York City, but the costs have now doubled.
The report notes that “The money is expected to go toward National Guard deployment, short-term shelter services and relief centers at state-funded housing sites that include Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, Randall’s Island and Floyd Bennett Field.”
Investors around the world need to expect massive market distortions to worsen as inflation accelerates.
Expect Massive Market Distortions To Worsen
March 27 (King World News) – Gregory Mannarino, writing for the Trends Journal: Despite a world economy contracting at its fastest pace on record, stock prices are rising at a staggering pace. Here in the United States alone in just the first three months of the year, the stock market has hit a new record TWENTY TIMES!
There are several dynamics in play right now which are driving stocks higher. Let’s outline a few of these dynamics to better gauge if this phenomenon will continue, or not.
Less than two weeks before the most ominous sign in the entire history of the United States appears above our heads, a bridge named after the author of the text of the U.S. national anthem has collapsed after a key support structure was rammed by a massive cargo vessel. “The Star-Spangled Banner” is the best known national anthem on the entire planet, and it is one of our most cherished national symbols. Some have suggested that the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore symbolizes the collapse of America itself. If this is true, could it be possible that the destruction of this bridge was some sort of a warning for America?
The Biden administration insists that the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge was just an accident.
