Some of the following comes from The Lost Experience. I didn't follow it religiously like some so some of this may be wrong. If so, please correct me.
Mittlewerk wants to find the island to follow through with his Spider Protocol plans and since the island is unseen to the outside world because of it's special properties and has people there, it makes it the perfect place. It would provide the perfect control group as no one seems to know how to get off the island or no one from the outside world can find it. And he wouldn't have the backlash (from government, etc.) for doing such an experiment.
The freighter folk are employees of Mittlewerk and the ship is Helgus Antonius mentioned in The Lost Experience.
Mittlewerk is trying to find an answer to the Valenzetti Equation (and stop the end of the world predicted in 2012). But he is using insane means to do this.
So as Ben said, this is very bad for the islanders (Others and Losties).
Does this make sense?
Okay, if this is true, then it sheds some light on Ben and the Others. I have always wondered what Ben's intentions were, why he was so h#ll-bent on protecting the island.
Ben knows of the Valenzetti Equation and the prediction for 2012 BUT he has no interest in saving the outside world. He wants to save the island, which because of it's special properties, sets it apart from the outside world somehow. (Remember Desmond and his snowglobe comment.) The outside world could die but the area within the globe would be untouched.
So his main objective is to preserve the island so that life can exist and keep on existing. There of course are many vairables that are disrupting this, one being the crash and introduction of outside people (the Losties) and two being the fact that pregnant women die on the island and no babies are ever born. This is the main reason why he is so zealous about finding a cure for the pregnany problem and is so very interested in Claire/Aaron and all the Lostie women. This is why he jams the signal so NO one can reach the outside world. This is why he tells Jack that if Jack calls the freighter everyone on the island will die. (Because yes, his actions will open the island up to Mittelwerk and possibly the world and the 2012 threat.)
Okay, that is it. If I think of anything else, I'll add it.
Any thoughts?
