About Lee Scheier
What I’m working on
I am currently working on a book about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The working title is: Many Talked But No One Listened: The Overwhelming Evidence That Solves the JFK Assassination Murder.
This book will draw on the works of the most significant researchers on this subject as well as books by those who admit to having been part of the conspiracy or having known about it. Many insiders have come forward and talked. By putting together all of these pieces I will make it clear that there is overwhelming evidence that tells us who killed Kennedy and why. The evidence is irrefutable that Lee Harvey Oswald was an innocent patsy who was framed by the conspirators and killed as part of the elaborate cover up which continues to this day. This book will finally make it clear who hatched the plot, who carried it out and who covered it up.
My background
Originally from N.Y.C., Lee has established himself over the years as a journalist, lecturer and playwright. As a playwright in New York he was represented by Helen Harvey, Edward Albee’s agent. His play, “Szechuan Dynasty” had a production at the Ensemble Studio Theater in N.Y.
After moving to Chicago and graduating with a degree in journalism he wrote many feature articles for Chicago Magazine and The Chicago Tribune and The Chicago Tribune Magazine, specializing in long detailed feature stories. His story, “Bitter Pill,” was an expose that showed the corrupt nature of the pharmaceutical industry. It concerned the pharmaceutical giant, Wyeth’s illegal marketing of its atrial arrhythmia drug, Cordarone, for the sake of increasing profits. When prescribed to a 79 year old man in Illinois he went blind from a rare side effect. It was discovered that Wyeth deliberately left the warning of blindness off the label in the United States, although it did include that warning on the label in Canada, which had a very small market. Mr. Scheier’s investigation revealed that over 200 people around the country had various levels of vision impairment or blindness because of Wyeth’s marketing practices. Mr. Scheier has also written many scientific stories for the Journal of the American Dietetic Association that are currently referenced by researchers all over the world.
About the play Transference
In 2006 his play, “Transference” was produced at the Mercury Theater in Chicago to rave reviews. A zany comedy, the reviewer in the Daily Southtown, wrote, “When slapstick farce is bad, it can be awful. But when it's good, as it is in "Transference," in its world premiere at the Mercury Theater, it's very, very good. This show about the psychobabble of psychiatry is one of the silliest, most outrageous and most hilarious comedy shows that I have seen in a very long time. It was so funny that I found myself screaming with laughter alongside the show's opening-night audience…this wacky romp of a show keeps the jokes coming so fast and furious that I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.” Mr. Scheier has just finished a musical call “Myth America,” that is a dark comedy about politics in America and is hoping to find a producer for it.
