Edward Snowden, Won't You be My Valentine?

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, the staff at Brave New Films have had butterflies all week. We’ve wanted to send a valentine to our collective crush and hope that others around the globe share in our collective crushing from a distance.

Yes, this is unrequited love. But that’s ok because our Valentine’s Day heartthrob is none other than whistleblower Edward Snowden!

Snip...

He stands up for what he believes in - that’s the whole reason he’s a whistleblower in the first place. He’d defend your honor. He’d stick up for what’s right. Ed became aware of egregious violations of American’s privacy and violations to the constitution he spoke up. He tried to go through official channels to raise concerns but no one listened. It wasn’t until The Guardian and the Washington Post published the information that we became aware of just how much information the government is collecting and storing on all of us. Since he is willing to live in Russia because he believes so strongly in protecting the privacy of millions of people, he’d definitely defend your honor.

Propaganda is the real weapon of mass destruction .

Because this was from last year's Valentine wishes for Snowden! http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024393808

I kinda think this is more reflective of Snowden's mood these days.
