I went on a trip and took some pictures with a sony dslr a230 but the lens was dirty and you can see small splotches over the pictures. are there any programs or plugins for gimp i can use to 'remove' said splotches? i figure by now there should be some software that can clean it up decently.

A little 409 should do the job

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835)

If there isn't anything for gimp you could always download a trial version of photoshop. The clone tool and healing brush are easy to learn.

dirt on the lens wont show up as spots. it would have to be large and would show as a smeared area out of focus/ not sharp.
it sounds like you have dirt on your sensor. You can google you tube vids for how to clean your sensor. you will need to purchase a sensor cleaning kit for your size sensor. Many people aren't comfortable doing it themselves as it can permanently fuck your sensor if you don't do it right, so either do it properly or drop it off to a camera shop that does minor servicing and they will clean it for you.
in Adobe Lightroom you can use the spot removal tool. you can then sync this edit across all your photos to save time.
Without giving too much away, lets just say this is something im very well practiced in

You can use https://pixlr.com/ as a quick photoshop replacement. Everything is in browser. It's not as versatile as photoshop, but for quick edits like that it can do the job fine.

you could sort that out with the clone/smudge tools in Photoshop probably.

My photoshop (or Gimp) experience is limited but it seems like it shouldn't be too hard since the background is all about the same color. You could also just crop off the whole top half of the image to make it more of a panorama and have less to remove. The empty sky doesn't really add much composition-wise.
