Delphi Betrayal
Did this 1981 classic book predict the Donald Trump presidency? The newly elected President of the United States must face the reality that he is nothing more than a puppet for The Delphi Commission: a secretive consortium of multinational corporations bent on unfettered global dominance. For decades, presidents have helplessly suffered the frustrating impotence imposed by the Delphi Commission’s power and control. All have attempted to stop its inexorable progress. None have succeeded. One was a assassinated trying. This new president, however, is different. He is the Delphi’s anointed man and is about to trigger Operation Prometheus, which will destroy the old world order and give the Commission more power than even the United States, China and Russia combined. Only a dedicated and incorruptible U.S. Attorney and a renegade Commission staffer can stop the ultimate transfer of power from nation states and their citizens to the ultimate and uncontrollable dominance of multinational corporate despotism.

He has worked as an investigative journalist in Washington DC for Jack Anderson, and has written for The Washington Post, Washington Monthly, The Nation and other publications.
He's served as a columnist for The Wall Street Journal Online, CBS Marketwatch, and TheStreet.Com.
In addition to journalism, Lew has been Chief Marketing Officer for a technology company (Transpositional Modulation Technologies), served as a top staff member for U.S. Senator Thad Cochran, and Mississippi Governor Bill Waller. He's also been a Managing Director for MSLGroup of Publicis Worldwide.
