I recall a short story/novella by Clive Barker, "Cabal". While the
term has a specific meaning from the middle ages to present day,
which Caliban illustrated. It also has a modern-day generic meaning
like coterie or fifth column. Basically it could be applied to any
group that acts in secret to achieve goals or influence public
policy. The word is usually used in a negative way or intended
to be perceived negatively. The "vast right-wing conspiracy" could
have been the "vast right-wing cabal". Of course both phrases are
oxymorons in any event. ;)
