According to the bible, Jacob was manipulator, used his intellect to deceive people into doing what he wanted. He deceived his father in order to get his older brother's blessing and inheritance.
Could Ben (who really seems to get off manipulating people) be deceiving the Dharma people on the mainland, actually running the Dharma Initiative on the island by deceit? Pretending to be part of the medical or psychological research group...and asking for stuff?
Like Juliet, the fertility specialist? Also, the Dharma folks could just be sending them news of the outside world
with the supplies, not thinking it's any big deal.
And I don't think the crew of the
Black Rock were pirates. Slave-runners, most likely. If they beached the ship on the island and freed the slaves and formed an island society, then that might be what's behind their conviction that
they are the good guys.
