Showing Original Post only (View all)The beautiful ballerina girlfriend whistleblower Ed Snowden was set to wed... [View all]
Daily Mail

10 June 2013

Lindsay Mills, 28, is reportedly the girlfriend Edward Snowden left behind when he leaked information about PRISM surveillance
She wrote on a blog about romantic heartbreak after Snowden fled to Hong Kong
'My world has opened and closed all at once. Leaving me lost at sea without a compass' she wrote
Couple previously went to Hong Kong for romantic getaway
Mills is a ballerina who attended the Maryland Institute College of Art
She performs with the Waikiki Acrobatic Troupe
The whistleblower who leaked the NSA's secrets thought about marrying his girlfriend and had previously taken her on a romantic break to Hong Kong - where he was last seen fearing arrest.
Family friends told MailOnline that Ed Snowden, 29, wanted to be with stunning pole dancer Lindsay Mills for the rest of his life but took the decision to throw it all away to expose the US government.
They were deeply in love and on her blog Mills, 28, dotingly called him her man of mystery who she had followed around the world for the last four years.
On Monday she took to the blog - where she has posted dozens of photos of herself semi-naked - to tell of her heartbreak.

I wouldn't know; do ballerinas normally pose "semi-naked"? Do you know what quotes are?

People should be ashamed. Trashing his girlfriend. She actually studied dancing

His love is abstract, his "idealism" is abstract. She sounds as flaky as he does. Just 2 cyberkids.
