DECLARATION FOR MISTRESSES - Leaving - The Last Word

"When a relationship is over, it's better for me to give up and leave rather than go on and on talking about it and before it becomes too painful trying to have the last word."

I don't know about you, but I've in the past stayed in a relationship months longer than I should have, unable to process the pain of it, but also determined to have the Last Word, which is usually also about being Right or More Right, or being the One who Truly Understands what has happened in case there is a chance it can go on. 

Sadly, no one is guaranteed they will never be hurt in a relationship, unless they are a certified sociopath.

So however it is that someone has broken with you or you have broken with them, be Big about it.  Be as honest but also as gentle as you can.  You should never, if you have been involved with someone sexually or emotionally, just disappear without telling them.  Even if you've just been dating a while without deep involvement, a Gentleman or Gentlewoman should say something before moving on.  It's only fair to let the other person know the truth and get on with their lives too and you can do that without being brutal.  

But I'm sure you've been in one of those horrible conversations where your whole face is in contorted from crying, your throat is so dry and closed you might choke, and you already feel a hole in your heart. 

You know what?  Take leave.  Go home or to a hotel, go to bed, just get out of there and start your grieving alone.  Feel your torment but separate.  And don't try and get back together.

I met a gorgeous man once, a friend of a friend, who I learned, when a woman broke with him would always do absolutely everything he could to get her back, only to break with her brutally, to hurt her very sanity sadistically. 

Be careful, be sure, don't go back for more.

THE MAN WHO KILLED KENNEDY : LBJ : A BOOK PACKED WITH MISTRESSES : MISTRESS MANIFESTO BOOK REVIEW

THE MAN WHO KILLED KENNEDY is just packed with Mistresses!

  Back in November of 2011, I elected Madeleine Duncan Brown, mistress of Lyndon Baines Johnson, as Mistress of the Month.  In this book, recently published and with a big buzz following the author's revelations on talk radio, Madeleine is reported to have testified to a big meeting the night before the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, in Dallas, by those behind the conspiracy and the shooters.  There have been so many conspiracy theories about that assassination and this is not the first book that would tell you that LBJ knew beforehand or was the leader of the conspiracy which may have involved not only enemies of the Kennedy's, people who just didn't like liberals, but also the Mafia and the CIA and the FBI.  Did LBJ have so much power that he could count on various characters from all three organizations and more to get rid of not only JFK but also a great number of operatives and witnesses? 

Roger Stone and Mike Colapietro, the authors, write that Lyndon Johnson was a "psychopathic serial murderer" because they believe the killing included 70 unnatural deaths out of 1400 witnesses, which has been mathematically calculated to one chance in 715 million trillion trillions!

This is a very interesting book, one that has built upon other authors work while being suspicion of other authors who may have been part of a cover up, and part of what's interesting to me about it is that not only is Madeleine Duncan Brown quoted, but so is Marita Lorenz, Fidel Castro's once upon a time mistress, who  also testified to having been part of a plot to kill Castro, and who under oath in a district court case in Florida, stated that she was a witness to E. Howard Hunt (later of Watergate infamy) paying off an assassination team the night before the Kennedy murder.   WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT WHO MISTRESSES TO IMPORTANT MEN WOULD BE AROUND TO WITNESS SUCH AS SECRET MEETING?

A number of people are named in this book as having been part of that team, including John Kennedy's "mistress" Mary Meyer's, husband Cord Meer.  Though I wonder at the use of the term for Mary, or really any of the women John Kennedy slept with, according to this book he was in love with Mary and said he would divorce Jackie to marry her!

Just to make THE MAN WHO KILLED KENNEDY an even more mistress-aware book, there is also a small passage that mentions George H.W. Bush's long time mistress Jennifer Fitzgerald!  (I'm avoiding the use of the term President in this case, even though that is the proper title of any person who has ever been President of the United States, and also in the the case of Lyndon Johnson because these mistresses were with these men before they became President.  I'm not sure how long the relationships went on after that.) 

Can we ever hear this story retold and not think about Judith Cambell Exner, who slept with both JFK and Mafioso Sam Giancanna?

Thought provoking!

CUBA - A GAMBLE ON CUBA THAT'S WORTH TAKING and CUBAN YOUTH'S SZECRET COMPUTER NETWORK

A gamble on Cuba that’s worth taking from NPR   LISTEN TO THIS STORY FROM THE ALL THINGS CONSIDERED PROGRAM at this link!

EXCERPT:

President Barack Obama’s surprise announcement Wednesday that the U.S. and Cuba would seek to normalize relations after a 55-year chill — and after 18 months of secret negotiations assisted by Canada and encouraged by Pope Francis — is a gamble worth taking.

 

“Isolation has not worked,” the president said. “We will end an outdated approach that, for decades, has failed to advance our interests.”

DETROIT NEWS - CUBAN YOUTH BUILD SECRET COMPUTER NETWORK

EXCERPT:

Havana — Cut off from the Internet, young Cubans have quietly linked thousands of computers into a hidden network that stretches miles across Havana, letting them chat with friends, play games and download hit movies in a mini-replica of the online world that most can’t access.

Home Internet connections are banned for all but a handful of Cubans, and the government charges nearly a quarter of a month’s salary for an hour online in government-run hotels and Internet centers. As a result, most people on the island live offline, complaining about their lack of access to information and contact with friends and family abroad.
 

 

CUBAN MUSIC : LA FAMILIA VALERA MIRANDA

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO LIVE IN CUBA NOW? JULIA COOKE'S EXPERIENTIAL " THE OTHER SIDE OF PARADISE" REVEALS THE NEW CUBA

NPR : WHATS LIFE IN THE NEW CUBA REALLY LIKE

Now that Fidel Castro's dictatorship has been taking over for a few years by his brother Raul Castro, and time has gone by, enough to open relationships between Cuba and the United States, one does wonder what it would be like to visit in Cuba... or even LIVE there!

Is it as impoverished as we hear? 

How do people get out of Cuba?  Who has to stay?  Are artists special?  

One thing I learned from this book is that there are tourists from all over the world who visit Cuba today, and that the tourists bring money to spend with them. money that is much needed.  The Communist lifestyle has guaranteed people good educations and medical care, though there are sometimes shortages of certain foods.  Maybe only the tourist areas have gotten a paint job.  Is the Communist Experiment that is Cuba a success or failure?  Would you give up the risks of Capitalism for life in this country?

Some Cubans  leave the country to work but they must come back, and apartments are difficult to get, so if you're not careful, some distant relative may show up for a visit and just never leave.

I enjoyed Julia Cooke's book and if you're in the reading mood around CUBA, as I have been, you'll find this another perspective to consider.

MARITA LORENZ on THE JFK ASSASSINATION CONSPIRACY

SOME EXCERPTS and SOME EXTRAPOLATIONS from Missy

page 128  Jimmy Hoffa wanted to destroy Bobby (Kennedy) but it was decided that killing JFK would solve that problem.... Carlos Marcello (Mafia) hated the Kennedys and felt betrayed by the failure to oust Castro and restore the casinos to his men in Cuba....

page 132 - 133 (With "Frank Sturgis" and some others, Marita went on a car ride to Dallas...  They didn't tell her who they had to kill, they just said "This is the BIG ONE!" They registered at a motel as a hunting party - all those weapons!  They also had a lot of disguises.  She was the only woman.)

page 135) "I had proven I could be a soldier where it mattered and now I was being called a broad by some fat mob guy who had probably ass-kissed other mob guys to become whatever the hell he was..."  (The mob guy turns out to be Jack Ruby.  Marita says she knew Lee Harvey Oswald as "Ozzie.")

BUT MARITA GOT OUT OF THERE.  She went instead to Florida to be with her daughter and her daughter's nanny and then flew on to Newark to visit her faithful and loyal mom, and heard of the assassination that had just occurred when the plane landed.

page 138)  "As I have testified, I believe we were all part of an assassination team, heavily armed, well-trained.  Ozzie was probably part decoy, part throw-away.  Undoubtedly he was a shooter, as has long been assumed.  However, the clandestine illegal activities taking place on home soil would shock even the most sophisticated and cynical American citizens."
