I thought it was very strange when Widmore told Locke that he moved the island. I always thought that was the case after the season 4 finale. Thought it was pretty subtle when he was being escorted to the submarine. I always thought he left the island earlier then 1992 because Widmore claims he's been looking for it for almost 20 years. He probably knows where the exit is because of the excavation where Charlotte found the polar bear. Which was most likely funded by Widmore. The only reason I can think of is that Widmore was either lying to Locke to make Ben look bad or he's working with Jacob's enemy.

I think you're right, Ian.
They banished Widmore and then Ben used a polar bear to turn the FDW so that Charles couldn't find the island again. The only thing is how did they get the polar bear behind the orchid station's "time travel chamber"? There must be a cave entrance that we haven't seen.

This theory is good but I have a question. I know this is definitely been said before but didn't Widmore tell Locke he knew where the exit was because he too was tricked into using it, yet we saw him leave on the sub?

"It's likely that they move the island by turning the FDW, but who does that could be anyone's guess."

I'd like to wager that if this theory stands correct, a polar bear was used to turn the FDW... and that is why Charlotte found the skeletal remains with the Dharma collar in the desert.

I really like this theory. It explains a lot and is based mostly on facts and not imagination :) I like what you mentioned about Elloise being the only leader and that Richard actually has said that there can be "only one reader" .

I like this theory, mostly because i feel a lot of what you have suggested would be a satisfying explanation for the Ben/Widmore conflict. I particularly liked the idea that Widmore would withold the pregnancy issue from Ben, allowing Annie to die..and I think your whole outline of Ben's coup fits really well with what we've seen so far.
