So, The Young Michael

Are these 'go codes?'

Don't know. Could be.

The US Airborne Divisions, particularly the 82nd, are able to fully deploy to an area of operations in 18 hours. They have 'St. Michael' as one of their patrons.

Kiev in the Ukraine, has a big stature of St Michael in the central plaza of the city. 

Arkhangelsk, in Russia, is named after St. Michael.

Arkhangelsk is particularly beautiful, but extremely cold (I have been there, it's insanely cold!).

Michael the actual Archangel, is called by that name, because apparently he placed his foot on Satan's neck once and asked him:  "Q?'

Oh sorry. He said 'Quis ut Deus?' Meaning - 'Who do you say is God?'

Most modern Biblical commentators say it means 'Who is like God?' But how would they know, right?

Anyway, this Michael, 'took 21 days to get to Daniel' (who was not a prophet, right...) so he is a bit slower than the 82nd Airborne Division.

Actually, that is not the story, but it is what people assume.

The story is that it took Daniel 21 days to be able to 'see' what had already transpired and his vision, his communication with this strange being, was blocked for 21 days by another force outside of himself.

Arkhangelsk. Beautiful place.

And by the way, this 'Michael' in reality, is a young boy, hardly sixteen in physical human age of years in looks.

He is not some big strong guy with massive bulging arm muscles, like you see in the statue in Kiev.

Not to worry. How would they know, either, anyway? Have they ever seen him?

So -, you just be careful if you ever encounter a young kid, who poses rhetorical questions.

...One of the most clear-cut examples of a place where 'foreigners' were residing briefly, is Venice. 

They also had plagues, as you recall, and not only because of those, but because of the 'Carnival' and 'season of sinning' (went all year round in the end), both the churchmen and the aristocracy and the 'others' wore masks quite a lot!

Now, the interesting thing to consider, is, well - you know how teenagers can be so darn arrogant...

The Church of Good Health. I think it
is literally called that.

Can you just imagine this fifteen year old youngster, wandering around Renaissance Venice, interacting with these aristocrats and ordinary townsfolk, and some courtesans and what-not, and asking them rhetorical questions to their masked (or unmasked) faces in the face of their attitudes and behaviors.

Well, it's quite funny, really. 

...This fifteen year old youngster, with the capability of placing his foot on Satan's neck.

That kind of shows you how nice this guy really is though. He's not like us magicians. We are nowhere near that nice.

The Venetian Republic signed themselves out of existence in one night, following Napoleon's invasion of Europe.

Any Grant? Christian singer... Yeah
I think it is Any Grant.
Might get her to sing in a Venice Cathedral
privately for Steve Bannon and some friends.
What do you think? Interesting idea?
Might have her don a mask though.

And Napoleon, for his part, thought he had won his 'invasion.'

And Venice, for its part, managed to be even more secret than it ever had been. And no one of course thinks it still exists except in name only and as virtual 'museum buildings' and so on.

Everything about the real Venice is opaque and difficult to comprehend - its transparent red glass is, as you know, gold. But uneducated people see it as well, just glass.

So, Quis ut Deus.

Let us find out, and laugh together.

This is a latin song title - the lyrics are in Gaelic:
