Origins of the Three Eye drug. (Changes spoiler)
Rasins:
The hole is the spell Victor was using to kill with. It was mentioned that it was the same as or similar (though less powerful) than the one the RC was using at CI.
That being the case, it's not a sure thing, but reasonable to guess that Victor had been taught it by someone from the RC to test it out (it hadn't been used for 1000 years according to Odin and magic changes about every 300 years according to Bob). I'd bet they taught him the curse, and the means to make the 3eye. And if what you said is true, then in about oh, 20 years, the WC would have it's hands full of potential wizards/warlocks. And if you remember Ortega said that the War was started about 20 years early.
We also don't know what, if any, plans the RC had for the iterim, for weakening the WC.
Also, remember that Molly was about 17 before her powers showed up. Check the Timeline.
THAT timing fits right into the RC's plan for war with the WC. They are overrun with Warlocks, and active war breaks out.

OK - that bit of logic is really good. I like it and it dovetails very nicely with what we've seen. Good work!

who wants to bet some of those warlocks found during the war, were due to someone sliping them third eye.

We know that the White Court came up with a plan to rid the world of wizards by getting rid of females who had some talent. The reduction of the available breeding-stock and the long time required to get a wizard from "lucky embryo who has the spark of magic" to "Dresden-Level Battleship on Legs" is exceedingly long.

It would appear to be of the order of twenty to thirty years, and to beings with ages measured in millennia, as many of the candidate plotters are, I am not sure that would feel like an overly long investment.
I like the rest of your notion rather a lot. It also gives an additional layer of resonance to my notion that one of the things WN is doing as a novel is echoing SF with Helen Beckitt in the Harry part and Harry playing Morgan, is they're both closely related parts of the same plan.

I thought from what Eb says in PG that the Council were being spread unfeasibly thin in finding new wizards by global population growth well before the time period of the books.
