Edgar Hallowax needed warm clothing
— JacksEyes
Are we now all convinced that Dharma (Ben) use the vile votices to teleport around the globe.
The map on wiki shows that there are vortices at the North and South Poles (listening posts), off the west coast of the USA (Portland / LA), East Indian Ocean (Sundra), and finally Sahara (Tunisia), but not in Iraq (Ben had to make his own way there from Tunisia). Yemis beechcraft was headed to the Sahara from Nigeria and crashed on the island.
Ben’s Dharma parka shows that Edgar Hallowax needed warm clothing so presumably Dharma had a station at one (or both) of the poles.
I am theorising that they have stations at each of the land based vortices so look out for one appearing in India. Given the name Dharma, the Indian one could prove to be a very significant base.

I’m not convinced. But I am - begrudgingly, grumpily, resistantly - opening up to the idea that I might have to accept it as a possibility!
Same here, count me as a vile vortice believer.
Sign me up.
This is a great find, and honestly it’s almost impossible to deny. Where did you get this idea? Regardless I looked it up and have made a seperate post with links and thoughts on it. It’s so good we have to get it more exposure, so here’s the link to the other post. Everybody has to read this theory!!!!!!!!!!!

great job on findig this wiki info! It confirms my Four Ends of The World Theory, which seem to be 12 ends in fact! :D
Here is the link to the original post that discusses vile vortices for the newcomers.

This is definitely not my find. It is something that has done the rounds regularly since season one.
I just think it is hard to argue against since Ben’s transportation to Tunisia.
Sounds vile. I like it.
