Venona was a small program set up during the cold war. In 1943 the US Army set up this secretive program to spy on the soviets. The intelligence found by this program include discussions on soviet Nuclear proliferation, as well as KGB messages coming from areas such as New York City and Mexico City. What this has to do exactly with the song is up to interpretation, but the lyrics do work well with it, and you can take it for what its worth that, that is what venona was. (I highly doubt that it was a mistake though that Verona and veona are so close and spelling and there are references to both he whole spy thing as well as Romeo and Juliet.)
