From an advanced point of view, it could be theorized that they are helping us develop because at some point in time we can be counted on to repay the favor.

Here's a highly speculative personal theory. At one point in time, aliens and humans lived together on Earth and collaborated to form a number of highly advanced societies, among those Atlantis, Lemuria, Mu, some of the ancient cultures of India, etc. I could really elaborate here but I assume you're familiar with the ancient astronaut theories.
The technologically advanced but philosophically immature humans recklessly abused alien technology, a colossal power struggle ensued between the human nations, most of which were almost completely destroyed as was the entire human race. The smartest of the survivors made a pact with the aliens to keep alien technology secret, aliens themselves, and to control man's technological evolution. In other words, to hold man back for his own good. The survivors were the progenitors of many of today's secret societies.

Why are they so secretive then?
Why don't they bi-pass government and just be open to the public?

When viewing the newly released video by Steven Greer, I decided to jump to a prior video which had Gov. officals saying that they were going to testify to congress about the fact that aliens do exsist. One of these government Military guys said that there were in fact 58 different types of aliens, some are in fact part human.

Look at what happened to the Native Americans when the white-men first made contact - their entire civilization was pretty much destroyed from the resulting culture shock. They caught many diseases that they had no immunity to, they had huge problems with alcohol, their spirituality and way of life was ruined....
So the ETs likely have a policy of guiding civilizations into the Space Age very slowly and gently, rather than touching down in the middle of the Superbowl or some such thing.

There's about 500,000,000 more people on the planet today than there was a the turn of the century!
If aliens have any involvement at all, maybe they're factory farming us?
Hmmm Roast Human for Sunday Lunch?

Why did we suddenly become "civilized" and started to build cities and stuff? Where did this "sudden" intelligence come from? I believe our ancestors were actually astronauts from another world. Whether these astronauts mixed with the earthlings or not, I don't know. But I'm pretty sure we are not from this world. Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Ksy-Gyik/Yeti/Tungu/etc. are probably pure species of the earth. And the neandertals were as well. We are the aliens, and we don't even know it. This is just a theory, btw. Don't take any of what I said in this post as scientific facts...
