Voluntaryist Origins III half-way update! Woohoo!
Hello, Voluntaryist fans!
I just wanted to update you on the progress of the campaign as we have now hit the halfway point with 30 more days to go.
So far, we have raised 55% of goal, sitting at $2,788 raised – which is fantastic progress!
In order to finish strong, it will be important that those of you who already have supported share the comic campaign to your social media to help get the word out so we can cross the finish line at 100%!
If you would, please take a moment to share the comic campaign link here:
https://igg.me/at/origins3
to your social media profiles so that Voluntaryist Origins III gets out to new faces, sharing an AWESOME comic story rooted in the principles of liberty.
An aside, I managed to see both Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame this weekend. No spoilers – but I do want to note that both movies left me with a reminder of why I am doing what I am with Voluntaryist.
While action sequences and special effects improve, character dialogue and philosophical thinking continue to grow thin, leaving much to be desired.
In supporting this series, you’re helping to bring about a new level of intellectual intrigue and an incredible, contemporary discourse on what it means to be truly free.
So thank you so much for your support again in this journey!
I will be keeping you posted on developments and will be making a few more live stream appearances with The Pholosopher to promote the comic and talk about comic culture in general, so be sure to stay tuned for updates on our Facebook page and Website at:

AND
Looking forward to more good things and a successful second half of the comic campaign!

March Against Monsanto Pictures
I attended a “March Against Monsanto” event and shot a couple pictures while there. It was an eclectic group, ranging from the green movement to libertarians and even mainstream Republicans and Democrats who simply disagree with Monsanto’s takeover of private farms via patent laws.
Next Issue Campaign Coming This Month!
Hello friends and fans!
With great excitement, I would like to inform you that we are working to launch the next Indiegogo support campaign for the second issue.
The page should be up by the end of May, so stayed tuned for the opening!
Right now, we are heavily looking for two things:
1. Sponsors for advertisement (e.g. Full-page, back page, and Website sponsors.)
2. Vendors who sell products for which we can sell perks.
If you can help in either way or know someone who can, please e-mail us on our Contact page.
Thank you for standing for liberty! We are so stoked!

Lifting For Liberty: Ben Lowrey’s Secrets to a Superhero Body
He may not have superpowers just yet, but liberty activist and health guru, Ben Lowrey, might have the superhuman body down pat. We asked Ben for the inside scoop on how to get that superhero look without the cosmic radiation or toxic chemical spill:
1. How did you become a lover of liberty?
BEN: I started becoming exposed to the 9/11 conspiracy theories around 2005. That’s when I first released that the world does not function in the way that we were taught at school. I watched Zeitgeist in 2007 and then that made me even more aware that government does not necessarily work for the people’s best interests.
2. When did you begin lifting?
BEN: I began weight lifting in 2012 after my hair suddenly fell out, a condition known as alopecia. I quickly became interested in health because I wanted to find the reason for my hairless. I didn’t want to look ugly so I naturally felt compelled to make myself more attractive. Bodybuilding was a natural reaction to that.
3. What made you want to pursue physical fitness?
BEN: Once I improved my diet and started exercising, the results started to show, and so health and fitness quickly became a part of my lifestyle. Once I had gained that initial momentum, it felt natural to do more and more exercise. Now it feels like part of my identity. It’s part of who I am.
4. What’s your strategy for a superhero body?
BEN: Jada Castellari kindly taught me the basics of bodybuilding. I learned that I must train the muscle for strength and size separately. Strength is caused by lifting very heavy (6 reps max) and tearing the muscle fibers Size is caused by pumping the muscle (12 reps) to drain the energy supply so that the energy storage area of the muscle grows bigger. By combining the two styles, there are more fibers to inflate. Also, fat loss is important so that the muscle definition becomes visible.
5. How do you see liberty and lifting fitting together?
BEN: Liberty is taking control of your moral compass. Lifting is taking control of your body. Both matter. Both have helped me feel more alive and more purposeful.
You can learn more about Ben’s tactics for physical perfection through his videos at youtube.com/benlowreyhimself:
