Adachi & 9.11

[Mark Nornes]

Thanks Najib for following up on this. I was the one who wrote the post 
you were talking about. My information was only second hand---from 
someone that was in the support group for the Sekigun people extradited 
to Japan. And I heard the story shortly after the attack as well. (The 
other Sekigun type I mentioned praising the attacks was described  to 
me by Pat Steinhoff of Univ. of Hawaii, who has written extensively on 
the Red Army, visited the recent trials, etc.)

Adachi fascinated me for the way he provokes people to take positions 
on important issues, and for the way his own position seems to slip and 
slide under a number of discourses: his public pronouncements, 
comments/positions his friends attribute to him, the "Adachi" people 
want him to be (friends or foe), etc.

PS: For those of you in Tokyo, it's worth keeping an eye on the 
schedule of Loft Plus One. It's only been around for about 7 years, but 
it's connected to a nearby Live House that goes back to the early 
1970s. Loft Plus One is in a basement in the heart of Kabukicho, and 
they do a mix of "talk shows" and music. The subject matter represents 
every kind of subculture, every kind of political position, and the 
more extreme the better. The film related things they do usually have 
something to do with pink films, political documentary, anime, and 
kaiju eiga. They have a schedule online: http://www.loft-prj.co.jp
