A CABAL is a group of conspirators, usually with a political or other agenda. It is derived from the Hebrew word 'KABBALAH', which means 'SECRET'. The term is often used to refer to a SECRET group of people who are working together to achieve a common goal. Cabals can be formed for a variety of reasons, including political gain, financial gain, or even personal gain. They are often seen as a threat to democracy and the rule of law.
