Secret Life of Paraguay's First Lady
Wednesday, July 13th, 1983
Somewhere in Sierra Leone

Paraguayan First Lady Erika Ballasteros revealing her truest self.

Paraguayan First Lady Erika Ballasteros was something of a mystery to many people. Nobody could get a grasp of who she was all about & why folks were intrigued by her beauty.

She was viewed as Paraguay's most popular First Lady.

Yanette Sedano Montoya Ballesteros was born in Caacupe, Paraguay as the ninth of 13 children (five sons & eight daughters). She attended the St. Mary's Covenant of Girls, where she excelled in academic honors & numerous achievements. In addition to her native Spanish, Erika was excellent fluent in English, French & Dutch.

More interested in pop culture & modeling, Erika ventured out & moved to Asuncion following high school graduation; Erika began a career in modeling, where she posed for a couple of magazines such as 'Paraguayan Beauties'; 'Ladies of the Americas'; 'Pinasco Magazine'; 'Concepcion Originals'; 'TV Paraguay' & 'Spicy Bits'.

During a special athletic event in 1975, she met Army Major General Jackson Ballasteros. Instantly, they gradually became a couple & got married in 1976 & had five daughters. In addition to their five daughters, Erika became the stepmother to Jackson's seven children from his first marriage: four sons & three daughters.

While raising her family, Erika also continued her career in the entertainment industry by participating in several movies which gained numerous awards & successful TV programs along the way. It was also during this time that Jackson was tapped to serve as Paraguayan Ambassador to Korea; Jackson & Erika moved to Seoul, where they enjoyed living in the Republic of Korea during his tenure from 1977 to 1982.

Jackson & Erika were asleep inside their bedroom at the Ambassador's Residence in the outskirts of Seoul on the late evening HRS of September 20th, 1981 when Jackson got a phone call informing him of the helicopter crash that killed then-Paraguayan President General Alfredo Stroessner; Jackson & Erika briefly returned home to Paraguay to attend the State Funeral festivities before flying back to Korea in order for Jackson to continuing his duties as Paraguayan Ambassador to Korea.

The December 13th, 1982 Incident resulted in the shocking assassinations of Paraguayan President General Andres Rodriguez, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, US House Speaker Tip O'Neill, West German President Karl Carstens & Italian President Sandro Pertini was an altering shocking bombshell throughout the entire world.

Rodriguez's assassination caused huge jockeying for position in Paraguay. Ultimately, Jackson answered the call to serve as President of Paraguay. Jackson & Erika returned home to Paraguay for good, but this time they arrived as President & First Lady of the Republic of Paraguay.

The Ballasteroses moved into the Presidential Palace in Asuncion & made the Palace an exciting & peaceful home for their five daughters. Jackson handily won election to his 1st full 5-year term in 1983 & began making plans on pushing Paraguay into the midst of the 1980s.

Erika decided to introduce herself as Paraguay's First Lady & announced the five-month Goodwill Tour of visiting a large number of unspecified nations.

Upon arriving in Sierra Leone on July 12th, she met with Sierra Leone government officials including visiting hospitals & schools. The first leg of her five-month Goodwill Tour was going to become long & somewhat exhausting, but she was determined to push forward.

However, Erika also was leading a double life..... A super secret double life that was also going to reveal itself during her time in Sierra Leone as Erika's secret sexual appetites were bound to explode very quickly......

In order to accomplish getting away from her security detail, Erika decided to wear some disguises to prevent detection & snuck out of a heavily-guarded residence in the outskirts of Freetown & was driven by her friend, Milton Ogbulna, who was the local Archbishops in the area. Upon arriving at one of the heavily secluded hideouts, this is where Erika & Milton were inevitably going to get deep into their passion.....

On July 13th, Erika & Milton, who were both naked & barefoot engaged in a steamy, hot, juicy sex orgy on the wet beach: kissing non-stop plus having hardcore sex as she enjoyed laying on her back with her legs spread wide open as Milton was aggressively penetrating her. They continued having sex inside Milton's secret beach house all night long & continued having juicy orgies of sex escapades throughout the entire month of July & the early part of August, until Erika had to cut short their secret escapades on August 12th, so Milton drove her back to the secluded hideout's tunnel, where she walked all the way through another underground tunnel, which ultimately led to the secret trap doors in the heavily-guarded residence in the outskirts of Freetown: she took a shower & got dressed, then took the private jet back to Paraguay to attend her husband's inauguration which was set for August 15th. Following the inauguration festivities, Erika took the private jet & flew back to Sierra Leone, where she continued the remainder of her five-month Goodwill Tour.

Plus she continued her secret sex escapades with Milton non-stop as well.

You're beautiful Irene, so beautiful." as he happily carressed her breasts, stomach, vagina & buttocks.

Thursday, September 1st, 1983
Grand Avenue
Everett, WA St

Upon learning of the Soviet attack on Korean Air Lines Flight 007 earlier in the day, United States Senator Henry Martin 'Scoop' Jackson (D-WA St) held a press conference at the airport, where he strongly condemned the Soviets for committing such a horrific & barbaric act. "The Soviets have to answer for committing such evil, barbaric attack by killing all of the passengers on Korean Air Lines Flight 007. Actions like these will result in major and severe consequences for the entire world to see."

However, there was something quite off about the 6-term Democratic United States Senator & twice failed candidate for the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 1972 & 1976. Something was not quite right with the Senior Senator from Washington.

One of the local journalists covering Senator Jackson's press conference noticed Jackson reflexively massaging his left chest quite frequently while he was speaking during the press conference. The journalist in attendance wondered "Something isn't right with Senator Jackson. I noticed he looks tired and worn out or something, there has to be medical attention given to him because I am scared today's horrific news might trigger something...."

Jackson kept massaging the left side of his chest during the press conference including during the Question & Answer Session when asked by reporters about any potential investigations. Earlier in the day, he had spoken with President Reagan & other United States Senators about the Korean Air Line Flight 007 Incident. He also was speaking with Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger & Secretary of State George P. Shultz.

Once the press conference was over, Jackson was also breathing quite heavily. Nobody amongst the group of journalists realized this was going to be the last time they would be speaking with Senator Jackson as he left the press conference & headed into his vehicle.

Once he got to his residence, located at Grand Avenue: Jackson closed the door behind him & drank some water before walking to the living room to rest for awhile. His wife of 22 years, Helen Hardin-Jackson was helping her husband with one of the autobiographies he had been working on lately, it was called "The Man From Everett". However, Jackson wasn't in the mood for helping out in working on an autobiography or anything else because he somehow kept feeling tired.

Sometime around later in the evening, Helen called Scoop for something: "Scoop. Governor Spellman is on the line waiting to speak with you about something. Scoop? Scoop?" She apologized to WA St Governor Dennis Spellman (R) & told him they'll call him back later; She went over to the living room to see what was keeping Scoop so long for not answering the telephone call.

To the horror of her face, Helen found Scoop lying unconscious on the couch slumped over. Tearfully upset, she called 911 for medical assistance because Scoop had just suffered a heart attack. The ambulance arrived at the Jackson family residence: got the Senator into the ambulance & drove as fast as they could to the Providence Hospital, where despite their hardworking efforts, Henry Martin Jackson: the Senior United States Senator from Washington, was officially pronounced dead at the age of 71.

An era in the Evergreen State had officially ended!

Mark Wells White, Jr., (D)
43rd Governor of TX
January 18th, 1983-July 25th, 1988
​

Dancing with the Ones Who Brung Ya!
Thursday, October 13th, 1983
9:25 PM CST
TX Governor's Mansion
Austin, TX

Despite a decisive double-digit victory (55%-43%) over his arch-rival, former TX Governor William P. Clements, Jr., (R) in 1982, TX Governor Mark Wells White, Jr., (D) soon found out that campaign promises to the voters such as pushing for teachers pay raises or several proposed education reforms including economic growth development plans wouldn't come so easy or even making those campaign promises a reality.

Upon taking office as the Lone Star State's 43rd Governor on January 18th, 1983, White was seen as one of the rising stars in the Democratic Party along with AR Governor Bill Clinton (D), who was in his 3rd 2-year term; MA Governor Michael Dukakis (D) in his 2nd term including countless other Democratic politicians being seen as possible contenders for the White House in the future.

Throughout White's administration, the TX Democratic Party held control in both chambers of the TX State Legislature, by large majorities. However, the State Legislature had grown used to battling with the Governor's office during the Clements administration & continued to do so despite the fact that White was the nominal leader of the majority party. The Democratic Governor found it increasingly difficult to getting his legislative proposals adopted without drastically different changes. White's own lack of legislative experience (he served as TX Secretary of State, 1973-1977 under then-Governor Dolph Briscoe & won statewide office as TX State Attorney General, 1979-1983)-led to some of the difficulties.

Perhaps of greater importance in obstructing close relationships between the Pink Dome & the Governor's Mansion was White's belief that he had no political debts to pay to special interests nor anyone else because he had won the Governorship without their help. Likewise, some of the State Representatives & State Senators felt they owed no debt or allegiance to the Governor, being sure that his campaign had little effect on their having won their own elections: thus likely continuing the infighting between the liberals & conservatives inside the TX Democratic Party.

White had an especially hard time exterting leadership during the 1983 legislative session of the 68th TX State Legislature. During his last two years in office, relations deteriorated to the extent that the TX State Legislature three times overrode his vetoes with overwhelming majorities-the first time in 27 years that a Democratic State Legislature had expressed so little regard for the leadership of a Democratic Governor. Less than one month before his shocking assassination on July 25th, 1988, White during an exclusive interview with the Associated Press on June 17th, 1988 said his "biggest misjudgement" was the lack of coordination between his administration & the State Legislature & his "overoptimism" about the speed with which the State Legislature could act on controversial matters & issues.

The Governor included many women, minorities, consumer advocates among the 600+ appointments he made to key positions in state government during his administration. But their presence was overshadowed by the more than 6.6 million state government employees who continued in their jobs from previous administrations.

From the onset of his Governorship: White made it clear that education reform in TX would become the top priority of his administration. He immediately proposed several bills; the State Legislature passed legislation that would require new teachers to taking competency exams before being certified. TX was among several states to adopting this requirement. Another bill called for mandatory testing of students. The third proposal was seen by many as the most controversial: which called on TX to consolidating its school districts & doing away with some small rural districts, this proposal caused strong vicious backlash amongst the legislators, who vehemently opposed the consolidation proposal & many of these legislators represented areas with small school districts. The bill was withdrawn from consideration altogether.

There was also angst amongst the liberal & progressive members of the TX Democratic Party led by TX State Treasurer Ann Richards (D), who boldly gave the Governor a stern warning that it was the liberals who brought the conservative Democratic Governor to the dance & over the finish line during the 1982 gubernatorial election campaign.

Another compounding problem was that TX State Comptroller of Public Accounts Bob Bullock (D) abruptly announced that he intends to launch a primary challenge to White in 1986. It had been common knowledge that the two conservative Democrats didn't like each other & strongly disagreed with such areas like the state budget, etc.,

TX State Attorney General Jim Mattox (D), TX Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower (D) & TX Railroad Commissioner Buddy Temple (D) all were jockeying for position in launching potential primary challenges to Governor White, making things more & more difficult.
