I often noticed the surest way to unite people is have band against a common threat or enemy. Take the cold war. When two super powers were against each other, the world was stable. Now without this, the world is falling apart. Is it possible to unite the world by fooling them and making them want to fight a non-existent enemy?
My idea?
If I created a world religion based on the idea that an alien invasion will come and wipe us out and all the world must unite to fight this threat and do what we can to explore space to find these hostiles and get them before they get us?
Then pull a international hoax that convinces the world these aliens do exist and use this as a means to create converts.
Do you think this would work?

Yes there is a way but to pull an international hoax dealing with an alien well that's a conspiracy to unite the world under one government and make them believe in a different god
But anyways to create world peace I say we start with individual inner peace

The common mis-conception of humans is- After a good war comes peace. Peace in its original form is neither peace or chaos. In the duality of the mind , peace is only the opposite of chaos, and either cannot exist without the other. Peace is what you are. If there is chaos, Who is seeing it? Chaos in the mind is projected upon the world. Try looking at things as What IS. What IS, is just that. What is really wrong with what IS, unless the mind is involved?

Will not work.
In-fighting would quickly erupt about who should be in charge of the anti-alien operation...

no understanding is the key to lasting peace not force and understanding requires honesty as well as the rest.
