Far too many "coincedences" happening with NZ lately. It seems viable to me. However, they're kinda stupid making their last stand on an island. One simple naval and air blockade and they're trapped. So, maybe it's a ploy? Look here, not there.
Possible. Actually, I hope so because the white hats can totally trap them there. (((Evil))) living the remainder of their lives in a cold-ass DUMB is the next best thing to Gitmo, I guess.
