Eagle View Senior Consultant: John Kelly
John Kelly, senior analyst with Eagle View Capital Strategies, also directs John Kelly & Associates Public Relations. Previous employers have included NBC News, CBS News, the State of New York and the Central Intelligence Agency. His news topics have included cutting-edge stories on the 1960 Kennedy Presidential campaign, Cape Canaveral space launches, the historic 1961 integration of University of Georgia at Athens, and flying to Washington to witness the Kennedy Inauguration and, from a nearby camera platform, hearing the words, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." He reported exclusives about Albert "The Boston Strangler" DeSalvo, Cuban militants planning Castro's overthrow, Soviet espionage, Mafia crime, the Vietnam War and Watergate. Kelly interrupted his reporting career, leaving his post as an editor at NBC News at its Rockefeller Center headquarters in New York, to become a CIA covert action officer serving in Vietnam during the war, among other duties. Later, he returned to reporting. Afterward, he was appointed by New York Governor Hugh L. Carey to serve as a Director and Deputy Commissioner of the State Department of Taxation and Finance. As an NBC reporter, writer and news editor, Kelly's assignments included living on the secret bases of the militant anti-Castro organizations Alpha 66 and Brigade 2506 as they planned commando raids on the Cuban mainland from camps in the Florida everglades. The FBI's Hoover authorized Kelly to meet with former Soviet GRU intelligence agent Kaarlo Toumi in safe houses in New York after the Finnish-born Russian switched sides to become a double-agent for the U.S. For years, Soviets failed to detect the agent's switch. Later, as a reporter at CBS News, Kelly covered Watergate cover-ups in Washington, Miami and California. Among his exclusives were the Army's use of the University of Minnesota campus police for surveillance and photographing students during rallies and campus activities. Also, Kelly broke stories showing that Army instructors rigged tests measuring Army reactions to potential missile attacks. Kelly served as a CIA action officer, but resigned after calling for a congressional investigation into Vietnam War corruption by local officials and cover-ups by U.S. officials who failed to provide oversight. "The two most abused things in Vietnam," Kelly was quoted in media reports as saying, "are the American G.I. and the U.S. taxpayer's dollar." In the administration of New York's governor, Kelly's responsibilities included mustering congressional support for passage of anti-organized crime legislation aimed at ending interstate cigarette bootlegging. The smuggling was siphoning $90 million of state tax revenue, with the money going into the coffers of three major organized crime families. Later, Congress enacted an omnibus anti-organized crime bill. Also, Kelly helped develop New York's Parent and Student Savings (PASS) tuition savings program that allowed tax deductions for parents and/or guardians on their deposits for their dependents' future student tuition. Under the new law, students could declare the funds as income on their tax returns spread over a five-year, post-graduation period. Kelly is a Manhattan resident who serves on the boards of the New York Symphonic and the Japan-U.S. Concert Society. He co-produced at Carnegie Hall the Japanese classic Mandara. The performance showcased 58 monks of the Shingun sect that had never traveled as a group outside Japan in its 1,150-year history. Also, Kelly has co-produced events at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and in Japan. The latter included a concert of Western Hemisphere classical music at the Itsukushima Shrine on Miya Jima off the coast of Hiroshima, the first time such a concert had been held at the shrine since it was constructed more than 1,400 years ago.

The newly-constituted Federal Executive Council (FEC) held its first formal session yesterday in Abuja and approved a new foreign policy dispensation, which ties it to Nigeria’s domestic agenda of attracting investments to the country.
In possibly the most critical comments made by a modern British Prime Minister about China’s growing global influence, Cameron admitted the West is increasingly alarmed by Beijing’s leading role in the new ‘scramble for Africa’. "It is now possible to imagine an Africa no longer dependent on aid, and a real source of growth for the whole world."

"Things are changing in Africa. In the past decade, sub-Saharan Africa was the third fastest growing region in the world. How does Africa build on this and close the gap for good?"
"We believe a big part of the answer is free trade within Africa."
Former U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria Robin Sanders provided an expert and enthusiastic introduction to the Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola (SAN).
Nigerian Leader Shares Post-Election Vision With U.S. Diaspora, Experts, Investors
The newly reelected governor of Lagos visited the United States capital this week to describe his vision for the next four years to opinion-leaders from both continents. A highlight of the visit by Lagos Executive Gov. Babatunde Fashola was his remarks May 17 at an invitation-only reception hosted by the non-profit Constituency for Africa at Washington’s Army-Navy Club.
“Problems of law and order, the environment, education, health care, infrastructure, security—the same issues as any big city,” he said of his administration’s priorities following his re-election with a reported 82% of the vote to lead his nation’s most influential state. Lagos is also the name of the nation’s most important city, with a population of some 10 million.
Former U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria Robin Sanders, introduced him by saying her friendship and admiration has only increased through the years in observing progress under his administration and his plans for much more.
The Lagos governor spoke to an audience of about 35 at the club. The audience included Nigeria’s Ambassador to the United States, Professor Adebowale Adefuye to a half dozen key members of the governor’s administration, plus prominent representatives of Nigerian-U.S. NGOs, consultants and investors. At the invitation of former Ambassador Sanders, I attended on behalf of Eagle View Capital Strategies, which organized “The Nigerian Investment Forum” in February at the National Press Club as part of client services in this field.
Jacqueline Adams, the executive editor of Africa.com, provided in-depth coverage in her column here, “A Man to Watch: Babatunde Fashola, Executive Governor of Lagos State.”
This May has been a pretty good month for Babatunde Fashola. Fresh from his re-election as executive governor of Lagos State, Nigeria’s business capital, Fashola won high praise in a profile in The Economist. He then traveled to Washington, D.C. for a series of high-level meetings with America business and government officials.
