Secret Intelligence Service

The Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), commonly known as MI6 (Military Intelligence, Section 6), is the British intelligence agency which supplies the British Government with foreign intelligence. (Similarly, MI5 supplies the British Government with internal British intelligence.) MI6 operates under the formal direction of the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) alongside the internal Security Service (MI5), the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and Defence Intelligence (DI).

SIS is frequently referred to by the name MI6 (Military Intelligence, Section 6), a name used as a flag of convenience during the First World War when it was known by many names. The existence of the SIS was not officially acknowledged until 1994.

In late 2010, the head of the SIS delivered what he said was the first public address by a serving chief of the agency in its then 101-year history. The remarks of Sir John Sawers primarily focused on the relationship between the need for secrecy and the goal of maintaining security within Britain. His remarks acknowledged the tensions caused by secrecy in an era of leaks and pressure for ever-greater disclosure.

    The Postman Always Shoots Twice

    by: mi6

    long days, just a twenty cents an hour raise
    data entry, while i'm staring at the walls
    i say, there really is no other way
    to make a million bucks at all
    i'll pawn my stereo, then drive to southern mexico
    and sell my kidney for a lousy grand
    like a lobotomy, i'll even try the lottery
    but nothing seems to go the way i planned
    so let's go
    on vacation to a place that's far away
    let's go
    my job is slowly driving me insane
    now some daze, i just sit here thinking what a waste
    and i've never felt like this before
    no space, and it's only feeding my disgrace
    i don't think i can take it anymore
    once there was a time, when i was too naive to mind
    cause i would listen to my boss and play along
    but top raman, mac & cheese, is not enough to carry me
    i need to find another second job
    i hear the voices, can it be
    a psycho analystic dream
    this situations so bizzare
    i have no clue on who you are
    i need release from all my pain
    it's so much fun to be insane
    i need to take it out on you
