I can't fill in all of the holes with my theory, because it is mostly a general theory about the plot of the show and how it will play out, rather than a theory about why things work the way they do on the island. With that said, here it is:
First of all, Dharma is involved in the discovery of a plane on the ocean floor found by Sam Thomas. Not only did they plant it there, they were the ones that actually got him to go there and find it, with the help of the crew of the Chirstiane I. Dharma wanted to make sure that he and all the world is convinced that Oceanic Flight 815 crashed into the ocean and had no survivors. The reason for this is that they do not want the island to be discovered. It is an island with special properties and they want to continue to conduct research on the island.
Next, ever since Ben wiped out the entire Dharma camp with the island's original(?) inhabitants, they have been angry and have been trying to get back to the island, and take over once again.
I think the "rescuers" are from Dharma and that they are there to wipe out any of the inhabitants on the island, especially Ben. I think that the flight survivors all go into hiding to avoid these new people, and that six of the survivors are allowed to leave the island. The only stipulation is that they cannot say anything about the truth of what happened on the island. They are only allowed to say that they survived the crash and that is all. This is, I believe, some sort of deal or bargain that Dharma made with them to allow them to leave the island.
The six have to live with this knowledge that they left the island and all of their fellow survivors, promising never to return or tell anyone that other people survived the crash. This secret eventually gets to Jack and the other five, and they tell their secret, return to the island to save the other crash survivors, who are then finally rescued for real. Dharma is exposed and shut down.
Thanks for letting me give you my theory. Will you let me know if it gets posted?
