Correction, it works to maintain the current status quo.

Agreed.

The problem I have is that with the same mindset I should be able to say that about GCHQ/MI5/MI6 (intelligence services of my own country) but I cannot in all good conscience support a lot of what they do.

It seems like they exist more to protect the interests of the landed elite, the wealthy, privileged and powerful than they do to protect the nation and its people. The latter is just misdirection.

I agree with you, completely. Secrets are the basis of class disorder.
