Regarding CW’s comment about 30 years of Peaceful Island Protection: After the 1954 not-peaceful slaughter of Team Jughead, there were about 17 years of possible Island Peace before the 1971(?) arrival of the DI. During these 17 years, the hot-headed, murderous, and yet cowardly Bully we all saw in “Jughead” may have taken control of “his People” - the (Latin-speaking) Family Richard. That must have been fun for them.
The 1971 arrival of the DI seems to have sparked a not-peaceful series of “hostile” attacks, one of which we glimpsed during Young Ben’s first day at DHARMA school. Roger Work Man also encountered some not-peaceful “Hostile action” years before The Purge.
At the time that Young Ben meets Richard in the Enchanted Forest outside the Sonic Fence, it may be that Charles The Cruel has been the “Hostile” Leader for almost two decades. I’m guessing that just before the Widmore-ordered Purge, Ben Work Man (Secret “Hostile” Agent) negotiated (or tricked) a much older Charles Widmore into pushing the FDW in accordance with a set of Rules they’d worked out between them. It was too late for Ben to stop the Widmore-organised Purge, but immediately afterwards, Ben the New Leader could start the process of winning the upcoming War. Theory by Roland
