Cairon O'reilly will speak about nuclear links with the military and some
of his activist daring doo's.
The following is a resume of Cairon's activist life, he even has a Wikipedia page!
A man of great integrity and determination.
"Nuclear power was my entry point in to rad lefty political scene in
Australia as a high school student in the late '70's. First action was
blockading a uranium shipment in our town to the Shah of Iran. Go
figure? I guess they should have listen to our advice uh? Nukes last
forever, American stooges have a limited shelf life (from memory they
left the Rev Govt. of Iran with one of the most modern air forces at the
time as the Shah, elite pilots and buddies skiddaddled oout of
Tehran....I digress.
In '84 we blockaded the world's largest uranium deposite at Roxby Downs South
Australia.
Over the last 3 decades I've travelled along the nuclear war/ power
assembly line from the Australian desert to the Nevada Desert nuke test
site...did the Diabola Canyon nuke reactor free tour, been to corporate
offices in L.A. and the D.O.E. in D.C. etc etc.
In '91
Went to jail in Amerikkka...even got charged with "being guilty of a
crime of moral turpitude" in Lousissiana (where the standards ain't that
high!)

Kasey Casemvoice of Shaggy on Scooby Doo put up 290 grand tobail me out after the 13
months while I faced deportation.
In '98 I was half of the Jabiluka Ploughshare that disabled uranium
mining equipment at the Jabiluka mine site in Kakadu National Park,
Northern Territory of Australia. Did around 5 months jail in Darwin and
managed to piss off a bunch of movement bureaucrats, moderates etc.
Here's a link to that...
