- Alien Attack Unites Humanity (August 11, 2023) by Curt Collins & Claude Falkstrom.

The Outer Limits: S1E03 “The Architects of Fear” (1963) – “In the hope of staving off an apocalyptic military confrontation between nations, an idealistic group of scientists working at United Labs plans to stage a fake alien invasion of Earth in an effort to unite all humanity against a perceived common enemy.” Wikipedia
“In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us realize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.” – Ronald Reagan

Reagan and Gorbachev Agreed to Fight UFOs – November 19, 1985
“At the 1985 Geneva Summit between President Ronald Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, Reagan remarks during a toast that if the people of the world were to find out that there was some alien life form that was going to attack the Earth approaching on Halley’s Comet, then that knowledge would unite all the peoples of the world. In a private talk with Gorbachev, Reagan asks what Russia would do if the US were suddenly attacked from outer space. “Would you help us?” he asks. Gorbachev responds, “No doubt about it.” [Eberhart]”

“Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.” – Henry Kissinger (allegedly)

“Equipment has been developed to use low-lying cloud as a screen off which to bounce huge propaganda shows. Tape recordings of primitive gods have been prepared, to be played from helicopters, thus frightening tribes and keeping them in their villages- a sophisticated form of population control.”

- Project Blue Beam – “Serge Monast (1945 – 5 or 6 December 1996) was a Quebecois conspiracy theorist . He is mostly known for his promotion of the Project Blue Beam conspiracy theory, which posits a plot to facilitate a totalitarian world government by destroying Abrahamic religions and replacing them with a New Age belief system using futuristic NASA technology and involving a faked alien invasion or fake extraterrestrial encounter meant to deceive nations into uniting under a world government.” Wikipedia
The Stars Are Too High by Agnew H. Bahnson Jr.
“(1915-1964) US author, textile-machinery manufacturer and speculative thinker much involved in problems of Gravity; fittingly, his Near-Future political thriller, The Stars Are too High (1959), features a Scientific Hoax in which fake Aliens with a real gravity-driven ship try to bring peace to the world. After his death in a plane crash, the University of North Carolina established the Agnew H Bahnson Professorship in Physics, whose recipients are funded for relatively short periods. [JC/PN]”

- They Came From Plano By Thomas Korosec, February 13, 1997
“As for the alien prospect, the Bible does warn of a first landing…Don’t trust the first ones. They say they come in peace and harmony, maybe they look like us, maybe a bit taller, a bit handsomer, the skin is a bit scaly in the sunlight. Don’t believe them. The first ones are the impostors, and there will be a terrible government set up under them.”
At a quarter of midnight, as Deyo winds down, a line of people form with questions. “Stan, I’ve heard our government is going to stage a mock alien invasion.”
