I think datni covers this. Information need not be true, hence I think se djuno is not necessarily covering all information. sidbo may also be involved somewhere in here.

And how to express "cabal"? I can't find something that
abstractly refers to a group in this meaning - perhaps if there
was such a bridi, I could use "secret society" (secret group).
But {girzu} sounds different to me...

You want "bende", not girzu.

{mipri girzu}? {sivni girzu}?

You have presented reasons why they are not necessarily a tradition "cabal". With Lojban, they have decide just what they are trying to say.
