As usual, you are absolutely correct. While this first stage of the global war is being fought in the hearts and minds of the people, the inevitable result of all those social wedge issues is to turn us against each other in sectarian violence...this has been a long and constant process over the last century that Putin and the current global financial elite are the inheritors of. You are also correct about the "threat" of jihadist terror only becoming a (perceived) pervasive antagonist since the first World Trade Center bombing, but in earnest after 9-11.
The following is a copy/paste from a section of one of my responses to your original OP several weeks age, "The Beginning of the End?"
"I would only add that this global cabal can be further traced back in history to the institutionalization of centralized banking across the western and near east world at the turn of the last century. If you consider the last 100 or so years of geopolitical and economic history within this context, the shadowed hand emerges from behind the veil. Since that time, this global Plutocracy has, with exponentially increasing technological capacity and masterfully designed social theatre, bred us to be increasingly apathetic and tribal as they go about consolidating and entrenching their power.
The first great world war against fascism became war the against Nazis, and then on communism. The Red Threat became the war on drugs, and the war on drugs became the war on terror, and the war on terror has become the war against each other; each one more abstract than the last. They are turning us against ourselves in order to sow the social war and violence needed to enshrine the ascendant police state and finally make an overt seizure of power. And the worst part is that we will beg for it. Just as we happily gave away our rights in the Patriot Act after 9-11, so will we gladly accept totalitarianism disguised as protectionism to save us from the social violence we are being bated into...our genetic tribalism is being exploited against us. "
The amount of attention paid to Islamism over the last decade and a half has had a catalytic effect on both our perception of its pervasiveness, as well as its actual growth and proliferation. The more we've been outraged against them, the more they rage and recruit against us. It is my feeling that the moneyed interests that support a given administration (this applies to any and all regimes over the last 100 years) have been working behind the scenes for many decades to achieve the ends we are now in the midst of. Putin seems to be the head of the snake in our day. I have not referenced it in my OP or other posts, but there is ample evidence that Putin has used his position to personally enrich himself, and is actually worth over double what Bill Gates (commonly held to be the wealthiest person alive) is, making Vladimir Putin the richest man in the world, and therefore an intuitive choice to lead the global financial elite. Here are some links to follow up on...
