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 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ 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. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host 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 web host'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 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 (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.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they 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.

== Controversy ==
==="Police State" criticism===

An episode from season two titled "Police State" caused some controversy when it investigated allegations that various [[FEMA camps conspiracy theory|prison-like facilities built around the country]] that are operated by the [[Federal Emergency Management Agency]] (FEMA) will be used during [[martial law]] for the internment of citizens who are deemed a threat to national security. Officials have said the facilities are emergency FEMA camps for the housing of civilians displaced by natural disasters.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/36526/fema-camps-jesse-venturas-conspiracy-theory-debunked/ |title=FEMA Camps: Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Theory Debunked |website=Deathandtaxesmag.com |access-date=2 December 2011))</ref> [[U.S. Representative]] [[Steve Cohen (politician)|Steve Cohen]] from Tennessee, a co-sponsor of a bill which aimed to create temporary FEMA camps for the housing of people affected by hurricanes or [[earthquakes]] in [[New Madrid Seismic Zone|his district]], was interviewed for the show.<ref name=SteveCohen>((cite web|url=http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2010/dec/07/rep-steve-cohen-blasts-jesse-ventura-tv-show-about/ |title=Rep. Steve Cohen goes to mat with Jesse Ventura over Conspiracy Theory |website=Commercialappeal.com |date=7 December 2010 |access-date=9 December 2010))</ref>

Shortly after the episode aired, Cohen called for the removal of this program from truTV's lineup. He called the episode an "outrageous distortion and an outright lie", as well as "dangerous and irresponsible". He said "when the media purposely distort the facts to create confusion and mislead people, they must be held accountable. Unless we actively debunk false and misleading reports, we risk leaving the public with a dangerously skewed vision of this country." Cohen said he was "shocked and appalled" that [[Time Warner]] would air a program "so full of inaccuracies and irresponsible distortions."<ref>[http://www.greenfieldreporter.com/view/story/cohen-ventura120710/cohen-ventura120710 Lawmaker: Jesse Ventura's show on U.S. concentration camps 'outrageous']((dead link|date=December 2011))</ref>
 
Another allegation brought up in the episode focused on a private facility outside [[Covington, Georgia]], that was stockpiling thousands of plastic bins alleged to be used as coffins for mass burials.

In a response to the criticism, Misty Skedgell, a [[Turner Entertainment|Turner]] spokesperson, described ''Conspiracy Theory'' as an "entertainment program that appears on an entertainment network."<ref name="SteveCohen" />

People allege episodes of ''Conspiracy Theory'' have been rerun, however Jesse says there has not been reruns since the show went off the air in 2012. The "Police State" episode has been shown only once, owing largely to the controversy surrounding the content of the episode.<ref name="https://www.theatlantic.com">((cite web|title=Jesse Ventura Suspects a Conspiracy About His Show About Conspiracies|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2012/12/jesse-ventura-suspects-a-conspiracy-about-his-show-about-conspiracies/266361/|website=The Atlantic|date=17 December 2012 |access-date=16 January 2013))</ref>

===Production issues===
After two seasons of the show, the creation of future episodes was in doubt when, on January 25, 2011, the ''[[Drudge Report]]'' announced that Ventura had filed a lawsuit against the [[Department of Homeland Security]] and the [[Transportation Security Administration]] (TSA), for what he calls "warrant-less and suspicion-less scans and body searches."<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.drudge.com/archive/140633/jesse-ventura-sues-tsa-pat-downs |title=Confirmed: Jesse Ventura Sues TSA for Pat-Downs |website=drudge.com |date=25 January 2011 |access-date=2011-12-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928065735/http://www.drudge.com/archive/140633/jesse-ventura-sues-tsa-pat-downs |archive-date=2011-09-28 |url-status=dead ))</ref> Ventura, who has a titanium [[hip replacement]], claimed that he sets off metal detectors and is always pulled out of line for lengthy pat-downs. The day of the announcement, [[Alex Jones]], a consultant and frequent guest, said on his show that he had witnessed a pat-down of Ventura at the [[Atlanta International Airport]] while filming for ''Conspiracy Theory'', during which Ventura loudly protested that "America is turning into [[East Germany]]." Jones said Ventura, who flew two to three times a week for ''Conspiracy Theory'', refuses to fly commercially again, a vow he reiterated after his lawsuit against the TSA was dismissed in November 2011.<ref name=bakst>((cite news|last1=Bakst|first1=Brian|title=Ventura, miffed by court, says he's off to Mexico|url=https://news.yahoo.com/ventura-miffed-court-says-hes-off-mexico-174718110.html|access-date=21 November 2014|work=[[Yahoo News]]|agency=[[Associated Press]]|date=4 November 2011))</ref><ref name=fullerwashpo>((cite news|last1=Fuller|first1=Jaime|title=The amazing Jesse Ventura lawsuit, explained|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/07/15/jesse-ventura-sued-someone-it-involved-a-bar-fight-and-now-bradley-cooper-is-involved-too/|access-date=21 November 2014|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|date=30 July 2014))</ref>

In May 2013, Ventura confirmed that the show has been discontinued and there will be no fourth season.<ref>((cite web|last=Ragsdale|first=Jim|title=Jesse Ventura says 2016 offers best shot for independent presidential candidate|url=http://www.startribune.com/politics/statelocal/209742001.html|work=Star-Tribune|access-date=1 June 2013))</ref>

===Unshown "TSA" episode===
In a November 2012 appearance on [[Alex Jones]]'s ''[[Infowars]]'' conspiracy-theory radio show, Ventura claimed that he and his team filmed an episode contending that [[Transportation Security Administration]] [[full-body scanner]]s are carcinogenic but that the episode did not air on the instructions of [[TruTV]] network executives. Ventura contended that persons unknown "influenced truTV to do that."<ref name="https://www.theatlantic.com"/>
