Hi everybody, this is my first time writing a theory and first time posting on this site. I've been a long time lurker and enjoy reading the theory's and like everybody else crave to solve the mystery that is Lost.
First off I dont think Ben or Widmore know for sure if whatever happened happened, I think both may be 80% sure, but Bens '' he changed the rules '' has put some doubt in his mind.
Now the purge, the reason I think Widmore ordered the purge:
Widmore starts out as an other, but sees the island as an oppertunity to become powerful a toy that he can exploit.
While leading the others he somehow interacts with the DI as a kind of double agent, introduces the truce and waits patiently on something happening. (815 ers, sayid shooting Ben, alas breaking the truce) as a double agent he uses his influence with each group that results in a tit for tat war that rages over many years.
Now the DI are pissed the others are becoming a bigger problem than they ever imagined, how do they solve the problem?. Up steps Charles Widmore with his masterplan ''Why dont you just get rid of them entirely ''.
But there's only one problem, Ben has survived and through his interaction with the 815ers,
has devised a plan of his own. He still thrives to become an other, and has revealed to Richard that Charles has been decieving them all along.
So he waits patiently on everything playing out as it should and when it finally comes the time, they take out the perpetrators (bullet to the head) and switch everything around.
Instead of killing Charles they exile him as I think its against the rules for an Other to kill an Other, part of his exile involves never returning to the island.
So there you have it my theory on who ordered the purge, may I also add, I beleive Daniel Faraday is being blackmailed by Widmore, somehow Widmore found out about Faradays experiments with time and the problems he had with Teresa, so is paying Teresa's medical bills in order for Faraday to work on the island. And this guess may be way out..... the black rock ledger may be Faradays notebook.
