c. the government knows about aliens and they have an amazing society, but it would undercut our markets if aliens just gave us free healthcare and immortality. it's not that the aliens wouldn't help us, it's that our own global governments would nuke us in order to prevent alien society from assisting us to ensure that the aliens won't help us, which is why we have a stock pile of nuclear weapons, but we created the entire cold war as a pretense to cover it up.
