Being exposed to EM detaches a person from the time line where they keep their future knowledge and retain the fact that they are special due to the EM exposure which ever timeline it happened in.
The only way that there are people on the island in 2007 is if the Swan is not blown up in the next iteration of the time line. This new iteration of the time line has been started by Faraday by recreating the incident again including our Losties again.
Time will start again from the dawn of time and this time Des is special too. His ability has been overlooked by MIB and MIW and Faraday is creating his own loophole in a way.
In this iteration of the time line the Losties will retain their future knowledge just as they did in the last iteration, most of what we’ve seen already in seasons 1-5.
However this time, Dan’s plan is to have Des make subtle changes which will also be overlooked by Jacob.
JACK: Her name's Sarah.
DESMOND: What'd you do to her then?
JACK: Do to her?
DESMOND: You must have done something worthy of this self-flagellation.
JACK: I told her -- I made a promise I couldn't keep -- I told her I'd fix her and I couldn't. I failed.
DESMOND: Well, right. Just one thing -- what if you did fix her?
JACK: I didn't.
DESMOND: But what if you did?
JACK: You don't know what you're talking about, man.
DESMOND: I don't? Why not?
JACK: Because with her situation that would be a miracle, brother.
DESMOND: Oh, and you don't believe in miracles? [Jack chuckles and shakes his head.] Right. Well then, I'm going to give you some advice anyway. You have to lift it up. (He may be saying "lift her up".)
JACK: Lift it up?
DESMOND: Your ankle. You've got to keep it elevated. It's been nice chatting.
JACK: Jack.
DESMOND: Jack, I'm Desmond. Good luck, brother. See you in another life, yeah?
This is one of them.
Next time we see them on the beach our Losties are going to be better prepared to deal with the MIB.
