REVIEW: GeoengineeringWatch.org’s Documentary ‘The Dimming’

Leading geoengineering critics discuss its hazards to human and environmental health, lack of transparency regarding deployment on world populations by military-industrial complex

Geoengineering is one of the most under-discussed threats to environmental and human health according to Dane Wigington, Lead Researcher for GeoengineeringWatch.org. Although better known and more widely discussed via its oft-dismissed euphemism of “chem trails,” geoengineering is in fact a diverse set of practices that many agree are already in full deployment.

In 2021, GeoengineeringWatch.org released “The Dimming,” a nearly 2-hour documentary which provides an in-depth look at the history and dangers of the practice, as well as a look into the research conducted by the watchdog group. Hodgepodge readers are encouraged to view “The Dimming” here:

I will share some key quotes from the film immediately below. These quotes represent a very small percentage of the wide array of subtopics that “The Dimming” addresses.

From Dane Wigington:

“What we’re seeing in our skies is not condensation; it’s sprayed particulate dispersions—with very few exceptions.”

This addresses what officials have stated in response to concerns raised by chem trails that they are in fact “contrails,” or trails of condensation that naturally follow aircraft and are harmless. “The Dimming” relates extensive information to debunk this assertion.

Retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General and former Tactical Weather Reconnaissance Pilot Charles Jones explains:

“Contrails do not linger, dissipate, and go into cloud coverage.”

Wigington continues:

“We have filmed footage of aircraft flying at altitude with nozzles visible, turning on and off. This is the end of the argument.”

The documentary indicates that climate engineering has been deployed in the West since directly after World War II. Retired U.S. Air Force Major General Richard H. Roellig shares that the American military utilized weaponized weather manipulation via geoengineering technology in the Vietnam War, and expounds that such military technologies only increase in proliferation and potency over time.

Dr. David O. Carpenter, Director of the Institute of Health and the Environment and Professor of Environmental Health Sciences at University of Albany, offers a succinct and accessible characterization of the hasty implementation of technologies such as geoengineering:

“One of the big problems is that when we find some new technology, we get all excited by it, by the potential benefits of that technology, and often implement it and use the technology before we have any idea of the negative effects.”

Catherine Austin Fitts, a leading light in the global freedom movement who previously served in the presidential cabinet of George H.W. Bush, highlights the importance of transparency in regards to the geoengineering issue:

“Just bringing transparency will shift so many things that it will make it extremely difficult. Because, you cannot manage an entire planet with overt force—only with covert force. If we bring transparency to who it is in the covert force—it shifts everything.”

She as well discusses the challenges that those who wish to expose the covert controllers face, focusing on a personal angle:

“In my life, I have friends, family, wonderful people, who are trying to stay within the official reality—on the theory that they’ll be safer. And the reality is, if you look at where this thing is going, you know, better we deal with it now. It’s like cancer; it’s only going to get worse.”

Wigington summarizes:

“Virtually the entire web of life is being systematically contaminated and decimated by the ongoing climate engineering operations.”

Wigington is not a denier of other forms of human-induced climate change, but rather emphasizes that geoengineering is the most egregious trespass:

“On top of all other forms of human activity or anthropogenic activity that are wreaking havoc in the web of life, climate engineering—mathematically, statistically speaking—is the single greatest and most immediate threat that we collectively face, short of nuclear cataclysm.”

He prescribes the solution of allowing the Earth’s natural balancing processes to take hold to counteract the damage that humans have done and to this point continue to do:

“Now, our only chance is to stop interfering with Earth’s life support systems, to expose and halt climate engineering—once and for all. Allow the planet to respond to the damage done to it on its own. Climate engineering is not a cure; climate engineering is a curse even worse than the disease it claims to treat.”

The Hodgepodge will soon post a follow-up to this review, which will include reflections and observations of geoengineering activities and possible effects, local to southern Virginia.
