I don't know how or where you could suggest that Desmond pressing the button every 108 min kept them in a loop-hole record thing.

The broken record analgy was used by Farraday to illustrate the Wheel being off its axis, going back and forth through time.

'Blowing the dam' was said by Kelvin to Desmond with regard to the use and function of turning the fail-safe key. Pressing the button was a way of keeping the pressure on the dam, although it was also explained as releasing a small amount of power so that it didn't overflow as it were.

And which time are you talking about Locke knowing when it was going to rain? before or after he was possessed by the MIB or after? because he has done it a few times in the early seasons, and even if it was after (as MIB), he has a connection to the Island and it's nature. The creators have also said that rain/storms are akin, linked and represent the MIB.
