*The Dalek can find no trace of his race on the Internet. Has no one noticed the events of [[DW]]: ''[[Daleks in Manhattan]]'' / ''[[Evolution of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Army of Ghosts]]'' /''[[Doomsday]]'' or ''[[The Stolen Earth]]'' / ''[[Journey's End]]''?

::The Dalek is more likely looking for ''present'' information regarding Daleks on earth, in which case he is likely the only one in 2012 itself. In addition, dialogue within various [[Torchwood]] episodes, as well as Remembrance of the Daleks suggests that information about certain events was repressed from public knowledge. Stolen earth and journey's end were just because there are probably no daleks on earth in 2012 dosent mean there would be no useful info on the internet for this dalek. Also if it had access to the internet it could get access to secret files about extraterrestrials, [it is in van stattens vault] and could therefore find out info from unit and torchwood about , the cult of skaro, stealing of the earth and davros and indeed the daleks from doomsday
:     There were no 21st century Dalek invasions back then, as this was long before the Doctor's actions in his Tenth incarnation lead the Daleks to invading Earth in the above stories. There common ground for Doctor Who is that, as mentioned by the Doctor himself and Steven Moffat, time is in flux, it can be changed. The Doctor's endless time traveling can rewrite various events, or add things. His chasing of the Daleks throughout time would lead to them invading Earth in the mentioned stories. When 'Dalek' aired, it was long before time was rewritten to include the invasions. In short, it is retcon on the timeline, which is already in flux.
:::These events could have been removed from history by the [[Cracks in Time]].
::::Perhaps the dalek meant useful information. He may of seen hte fact that each dalek before him died and this does not help him escape.


*How can van Statten (who seems to own the President) not know what a Dalek is, even though they stole and attacked the Earth 3 years earlier in ''The Stolen Earth'' and ''Journey's End''?
