[edit] 16 September 2005

The last sentence of this article says "This subsequently led to the Chilean coup d'état of 1973, and the death of Salvador Allende." This seems speculative, however.

I don't know much about the details of Project FUBELT itself, but according to the article on Salvador Allende, FUBELT dealt mostly with trying to prevent Allende's presidency before his ratification by Congress in 1970. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.51.176.92 (talk • contribs) 15 September 2005

I have removed the part about the coup and Allendes death. --Ezeu 00:14, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Offhand, most of this looks more like it belongs in Wikisource. -- Jmabel | Talk 19:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually, this doesn't really look like an article. This looks like a list of... documents? It's simply unreadable. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.39.129.247 (talk • contribs) 3 May 2006.

[edit] Track Two

Project Fubelt must be identical to "Track Two", which is described in the Church report:

Track II was initiated by President Nixon on September 15 when he instructed the CIA to play a direct role in organizing a military coup d'etat in Chile. The Agency was to take this action without coordination with the Departments of State or Defense and without informing the U.S. Ambassador...

The essential difference between Tracks I and II, as evidenced by instructions to Ambassador Korry during this period, was not that Track II was coup-oriented and Track I was not. Both had this objective in mind. There were two differences between the two tracks: Track I was contingent on at least the acquiescence of Frei; and the CIA's Track II direct contacts with the Chilean military, and its active promotion and support for a coup, were to be known only to a small group of individuals in the White House and the CIA. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vints (talk • contribs) 6 May 2006.
