He’s a leaker and heart-breaker!
National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden allegedly left behind a gorgeous — and now completely disconsolate — girlfriend, in the wake of his secret-spilling protest against domestic spying.
Lindsay Mills, 28, said she was completely blindsided by her boyfriend’s sudden disappearance and admitted role in leaking crucial US surveillance secrets.
“My world has opened and closed all at once,” Mills wrote on her blog yesterday. “Leaving me lost at sea without a compass.”
Mills and her parents could not be immediately reached for comment today.
In public records examined by The Post, Snowden and Mills are listed as “associates,” meaning they could have lived together, been business partners or neighbors.
Snowden is on the run, after having spilled his guts to the Guardian and Washington Post newspapers about massive US monitoring of American telephone and Internet activity.
The high-school dropout and computer whiz was last seen in Hong Kong, where Snowden and Mills once enjoyed a romantic vacation.
Mills’ blog is filled with sexy pictures of the toned, long-and-lean dancer.
The stunning blonde said she’s tearfully ready to go on with her life, without saying any “goodbyes” to Snowden.
“As I type this on my tear-streaked keyboard I’m reflecting on all the faces that have graced my path,” she wrote.
“The ones I laughed with. The ones I’ve held. The one I’ve grown to love the most. And the ones I never got to bid adieu. But sometimes life doesn’t afford proper goodbyes.”
As of this morning, the blog has been suspended.
Even though Mills seemed to have been caught off guard by Snowden’s radical protest, the dancer appeared to share some of his distrust of the government — and its potential regulation of the Internet.
Back in January, she declared her opposition to the proposed Stop Online Piracy Act.
“Normally I’d be hitting you with a riveting entry about my super hero life, but today I wanted to join others in protest of SOPA. A bill that poses to allow the government to control the very thing you’re reading my blog on — the internet,” Mills wrote on her blog.
“The way users (people like you and me) share information and ideas freely across the internet would most certainly change. … I encourage you to call your representative and sign the petition. It only takes a few minutes and I do hope lawmakers hear us.”
Snowden gained access to domestic US spying activity through his job with NSA contractor Booz Allen Hamilton.
Snowden worked at Booz Allen Hamilton for three months at a salary that would have paid him $122,000 a year, the company said today.
It’d been previously reported that Snowden was raking in $200,000.
The company also had a final parting shot for Snowden: You’re fired.
“Snowden, who had a salary at the rate of $122,000, was terminated June 10, 2013 for violations of the firm’s code of ethics and firm policy,” the firm said.
