Where's the documentation for The Tides being connected to MoveOn.org?

According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/opinion/s_169770.html), Heinz gives millions to The Tides. Out of those millions, The Tides sent $489,000 to The Iraqi Peace Fund (in just one year, I believe), who then sent money (the amount was not specified in the article) to MoveOn.org. There must be a way of determining that amount, but I don't know it.

The entire purpose of The Tides is simply to launder money from rich donors to organizations that they don't want to officially be affiliated with. Like, say The Ruckus Society, whose official mission is to teach anarchists how to smash property effectively. ("I think you can be destructive, you can use vandalism strategically. It may be violence under the law but I just don't think it's violence." - Ruckus Society director John Sellers)

To me, it sounds like its legal within the asinine CFR framework, but runs seriously afoul of RICO laws (not that liberals are subject to the law.) It's money laundering as well as racketeering and conspiracy to break laws.

Well, among other things the Peaceful Tomorrows victim organization has a link on their site to moveon.org and other socialist/anti-war peacenik organizations.

This is what they say about MoveOn:

MoveOn.org - 'MoveOn is working to bring ordinary people back into politics. With a system that today revolves around big money and big media, most citizens are left out. When it becomes clear that our "representatives" don't represent the public, the foundations of democracy are in peril. MoveOn is a catalyst for a new kind of grassroots involvement, supporting busy but concerned citizens in finding their political voice.'
