David Morehouse?

[Porter]

I recently listened to the Skeptoid episode on remote viewers and it reminded me of a question...
What is the story on remote viewer, David Morehouse's alleged nomination for a 1999 Nobel Peace Prize supposed? A website ( knowledgeworksglobal.com/speakers/biographies/bio_davidmorehouse.html ) claims
"he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in Alternative Sciences by a committee of scientists and educators from the United States and Scandinavia."

There's no "Alternative Sciences" category on the Nobel Foundation official website, so did he just get a bunch of fans and alternate science notables to nominate him for something that doesn't exist?

Seems to me an award in a non-existent category is perfect for a non-existent effect.

David Morehouse, the psychic remote viewer? He's claiming to have been "nominated" of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.


Nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize
Every year, the Norwegian Nobel Committee sends out thousands of letters inviting qualified people to submit their nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The names of the nominees and other information about the nominations cannot be revealed until 50 years later.http://nobelprize.org/nomination/peace/

Isn't that convenient?

Well...here's a biography of him by people who actually believe in Remote Viewing and it isn't flattering. http://www.remoteviewer.org/remoteviewing/truth-about-david-morehouse.htm
