1)Nemesis, via Christian & Claire, tells Locke to move the Island. Ben knows this is his responsibility, he has orders. There is no rule that says he who leaves the Island can never return, that's why Ben CAN return. Why take Ben at his word? Because Locke has a gun to him?
2)Nemesis, via Alpert via Fake Locke, orders Injured Locke to give him the compass and tell him certain information and to bring everyone back who left. Nemesis knows to tell Locke this because
A) he knows who returned and was bounced to 1977(Faraday Journal
B) he lived through the conversation first hand. Fake Locke telling Alpert what to say is only so Ben won't be suspicious and figure out that he's a pawn. Also, Alpert sets an example for Ben that all of Fake Locke's orders should be followed.
3) Locke is told to find Hawking by Widmore. Two ex-leaders of The Others, aka Nemesis' soldiers. They are co-conspirators.
4) Ben, already off the Island, has been ordered to find and kill John Locke.
5) Hawking knows the protocol because it's in her own journal. This creative paradox, which is no different than the compass, is the one element of the show where the writers are asking us to suspend disbelief the most. She knows who she put on Ajira. She knows that Locke's body is destined to be used by Nemesis.
Fake Christian, Fake Claire, Hawking, Widmore, Ben, Fake Locke, Alpert. All working for the same side, using information passed through the time loop.
