You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Camilo Valenzuela''' was a [[Chile]]an General and chief of the garrison in [[Santiago de Chile]]. In 1970 he led a group that with intent to stop the newly [[Chilean presidential election, 1970|elected]] [[Salvador Allende]] from being inaugurated as president, tried to kidnap [[constitutionalism|constitutionalist]] Army Commander-in-Chief [[René Schneider]].

General Camilo Valenzuela met with other heads of the armed forces of Chile, previously contacted by the [[CIA]] or [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]], as Admiral [[José Toribio Merino]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=4ht0mAbcH1QC&pg=PA93 Memorias de un Almirante, Jose Toribio Merino page 93]</ref> Other officials contacted were the Admiral Hugo Tirado,  General of Carabineros [[Vicente Huerta|Vicente Huerta Celis]], Colonel Igualt and a group of civilians.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=4ht0mAbcH1QC&pg=PA93 Memorias de un Almirante Jose Toribio Merino page 90 ]</ref>

On October 19, 1970, the group, supplied with tear gas grenades delivered by the [[CIA]], made an attempt to kidnap Schneider as he was leaving a [[bachelor party]]. But the attempt failed because Schneider left in a private car and not the expected official vehicle.

A second attempt October 20 was also unsuccessful. The CIA assured Valenzuela that "[[United States Government|USG]] support for anti-Allende action continues."<ref>Cable, CIA HQ to Santiago Station, "Request Contact General Valenzuela," 22 October 1970. (Note in Gustafson)</ref> But they also concluded: "since Valenzuela’s group is apparently having considerable difficulty executing even the first step of its coup plan, the prospect for a coup succeeding or even occurring before 24 October [the day for the Congressional vote] now appears remote."<ref>[[Church Committee]], [http://history-matters.com/archive/church/reports/ir/contents.htm ''Alleged Assassination Plots Involving Foreign Leaders''], November 1975, page 245.</ref>

At 2 a.m., October 22, [[M3 submachine gun|machine guns]] were handed over from the CIA to Valenzuela's group. But before Valenzuela could make a new kidnap attempt, Schneider was shot later that day by a group led by [[Roberto Viaux]], and died three days later in hospital. (The weapons supplied to Valenzuela were not used in the killing.)

Following the shooting, Valenzuela was appointed "Jefe del Plaza for Law and Order"/chief of Santiago province and Schneider was succeeded by General [[Carlos Prats]]. On October 24 the [[Congress of Chile|Congress]] confirmed Allende as president. The attempts to prevent Salvador Allende from taking office had failed.

Military courts in Chile found that Schneider's death was caused by two military groups, one led by Roberto Viaux and the other by Camilo Valenzuela. Viaux and Valenzuela were convicted of charges of conspiring to cause a coup, and Viaux also was convicted of kidnapping. The CIA aided both groups, the lawsuit said.
