RE: The Wedge of Truth was published in 2002. The Wedge Document was created in 1998 and leaked in 1999.
Publishers Weekly was aware of the book as early as 2000.
Suffice it to say that there is no conspiracy to hide the intent of the Wedge. I’ve personally known all about it as early as the late 90’s without even having to look hard.
Your evidence is still a couple years behind. It was created in 1998 and leaked in early 1999. 2000 would thus be the perfect time to start writing a damage control book and stating there was no hidden agenda. If you are associated with the DI or know those who are or are sympathetic you may have seen something like this through the community. But it was not meant for the eyes of the heathen.
