If one looks carefully at the military malware called Stuxnet, which attacks the centrifuges of uranium refinement equipment… you will begin to understand… that it’s a specific subinstance of the processes employed to wreck the shambling remains of what was left of our government.

Stuxnet was more than a virus. It was a model of highly-advanced methods … that are easily generalized… for a broad array of other purposes. Because minds, cultures, corporations… all of these ‘refine’ something by a process not entirely dissimilar to centrifuging.
