Hey Bill - Who's This?

So okay this is specifically addressed to one of our crew here!

LOL

Who's this lady then, Bill??

Anyway so let's talk Venice for a few moments.

Y'all know, 'cuz I told you before, that 'one' of the major intel groups has a little team in Venice (Italy) right now and they are looking for god-only-knows-what, frankly. It's not really a secret because some of them went not under any particular cover as such and they are already 'in' one of the entertainment industries as public figures.

Nobody invites me - okay that's not exactly the case, I HAVE been invited to a couple of places this year but I can't go goddammit; not just yet anyway. 

See people don't invite me to actually BE somewhere, they just want to be briefed so that it seems they know stuff all by they l'l selves 'n all...

I ain't gonna shoot anyone, see. These chicks are, if you tell 'em. And if 'you' happen to be an authorized responsible person.

Oh yeah it kinda sorta does happen up to a point, though not in any way the idiots who are making the Bond movies now carry on about. Bourne is amazing but er, maybe not that close to reality... 

So in the mass public entertainment (propaganda) space, we have Margot Robbie doing Harley Quinn (a specifically Venetian-based character, in fact), and the latest Bond abortion.

So the actual top US female spies are in Venice right now, even as we speak. How about that, right? 

It's all a party, see.

The real Arlecchina, is an amazing literary character. She was one of these 'in-between' 'within/without,' 'this world/not this world' literary creations.

Gerard of Cremona translated some Arabic books in the 12th Century, some of which detailed this idea about 'Jinn' being present in Venice. Arlecchina could certainly be looked upon from this window on things... She was amazingly inventive, able to create beautiful musical instruments just from wine glasses and some water, and she was able to make her costumes reflect and play with the light from the hundreds of candles and mirrors in the salons in the late Venice evenings.

Really sweet little tune this - gets firing from more than half-way through, though. If you're patient, and you can handle this kind of mindwave, frequency manipulative super mind programming things...
