"Why in the world are they spraying" is the
sequel to "What in the world are they spraying". Both movies are
distributed by Reality Zone, a group with connections to the John Birch
Society. The message of the movie is really a subtle form of climate change
denial. The movie admits that climate change is man-made, but claims that it's
caused by secret government geo-engineering, rather than by fossil fuels. In
this manner, the Birchers can both eat their cake and have it, too. Sure, the
weather is changing, but it's the New World Order that's to blame, not our
heavy dependence on oil and coal. Ah, how convenient! To stop climate change,
we just have to expose the geo-engineering conspiracy, and that's that.
I'm not saying everyone in this production agrees with the above perspective (many seem to be organic farmers and one is a Latin American immigrant, hardly people connected to the John Birch Society), but this seems to be the secret agenda of G. Edward Griffin over at Reality Zone.
The documentary itself is a very mixed bag. I don't doubt that the U.S. government (and other great powers) want to control the weather. Nor do I doubt that Monsanto aren't girl scouts, or that pollution is on the rise. The problem is the way the film connects these various strands with each other. Note also the irony that the geo-engineering proposed by the scientists as a way to stop climate change, is being charged with *creating* climate change...in secret.
But then, that's why it's called "conspiracy theory", isn't it?
