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)[reply]

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

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.

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.

Adding contextual information to the article

It seems to me that this article lacks much context on the impacts of Project FUBELT itself. Undoubtedly there were consequences of the project, as well as context surrounding US motives and Allende's actual involvement in accusations by the US. I think it is imperative to include information about the different demographics in Chile as well, and tying it into US involvement and how the impacts of Project FUBELT may have impacted different people differently. Context of the events leading to, events after, and people affected by Project FUBELT are what this article needs to become less American-centric. Much of the sources cited in this article are just CIA documents, which while effective in proving the US POV, also lacks so much in (forgive me for saying this once again) context.

I agree with you. But who is going to do that? You? I wish you good luck in the enterprise. I will be watching with interest, as I always do, and I am willing to help as time allows... Again, good luck. Regards, warshy ^(¥¥) 22:15, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
