How 'Avaaz' Is Sponsoring Fake War Propaganda From Syria

As usual, 'b' unearths a large chunk of the truth on this shady organization.
"... There are fake video reports coming out of Syria and we have good reason to believe that these are at least sponsored by the U.S. Avaaz foundation.
Avaaz says on its About page that it "is wholly member-funded." While the web-page has a donation button, it is unclear what this member-funded thingy means. According to its latest 990 form the "Avaaz Foundation is comprised of two members: Res Publica (U.S.) Inc and Moveon.org Civic Action." From the 990 form, which seems redacted, it is not clear to me where the money, over $6 million in 2010, to Avaaz is actually coming from or where it is going. Could this be another U.S. government funded non-government organization like the National Endowment for Democracy or the International Republican Institute which act as fronts for the CIA and other services?"
