I always thought it was a reference to "fifth column", which is a group of people who clandestinely undermine a larger group such as a nation from within. I only linked them because of column and Bungie's perseverance to take over the world and shoot their enemies into the sun.

Its almost certainly a 5th Column reference. This guy know what he's talking about.

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."
