With Valentines Day around the corner, the staff at Brave New Films have had butterflies all week. Weve 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 thats ok because our Valentines Day heartthrob is none other than whistleblower Edward Snowden!

Snip...
He stands up for what he believes in - thats the whole reason hes a whistleblower in the first place. Hed defend your honor. Hed stick up for whats right. Ed became aware of egregious violations of Americans privacy and violations to the constitution he spoke up. He tried to go through official channels to raise concerns but no one listened. It wasnt 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, hed definitely defend your honor.

they changed my mind about Snowdon ,I don't worship him but he did some brave work and got hated for it even by people here .
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.

Your cause is futile. Your efforts here at shielding the deep state are wasted.
