So, Cambridge Analytica used Trinidad as one of it's guinea pig operations back in 2013 (though I've long suspected that the intelligence services have been operating in that part of the world for quite a long time undermining the 'independence' of islands in unseen ways.. colonialsim by stealth as it were)...

Bloomberg: Data mining company Cambridge Analytica worked for the UNC

Questions have been raised over a recent Bloomberg report which said the United National Congress (UNC) employed the services of data-mining company Cambridge Analytica in Trinidad and Tobago in 2013.

The report said that SCL Group, the British affiliate of Cambridge Analytica allegedly helped a candidate in Trinidad by emblazoning graffiti slogans around the island that ‘ostensibly was posted by young Trinidadians’.

Never mind that the UNC went on to lose the general election in 2015. So, what were CA really doing there?

Perhaps this Guardian article provides the first clues...

The great British Brexit robbery: how our democracy was hijacked

David said: “The standard SCL/CA method is that you get a government contract from the ruling party. And this pays for the political work. So, it’s often some bullshit health project that’s just a cover for getting the minister re-elected. But in this case, our government contacts were with Trinidad’s national security council.”

The security work was to be the prize for the political work. Documents seen by the Observer show that this was a proposal to capture citizens’ browsing history en masse, recording phone conversations and applying natural language processing to the recorded voice data to construct a national police database, complete with scores for each citizen on their propensity to commit crime.

“The plan put to the minister was Minority Report. It was pre-crime. And the fact that Cambridge Analytica is now working inside the Pentagon is, I think, absolutely terrifying,” said David.

and then from the Trinidad Express :

Buying data in Trinidad: How Cambridge Analytica did it

In December 2017, the Sunday Express began an investigation which uncovered that several data mining operations took place between 2010-2015, facilitated by politicians, with the cost being borne by taxpayers.

In its first instalment, the Sunday Express revealed that UK pollster Sir Robert Worcester was paid a monthly consultancy from the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) of US$10,000 (TT$64,500) for two years, from 2013-2015 while he mainly operated out of his UK home, Allington Castle in Kent.

Now where did the "Evil Eye" idea for the 2018 March come from?

Obeah is a fact of life, and afterlife, in the Caribbean

the evil eye, is taken so much for granted in the islands that people joke about it.

Ezra's daughter had apparently been a willing volunteer and had studied under experts at Trinidad. Some timehonored obeah formulas have been recorded by an underground press. Books like “Pow‐wows With a Lost Friend,” “Titabeh,” “The Black Arts” and “The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses” are committed to the obeah doctor's memory.

Coincidentally, one of the most famous Carnival designers Peter Minshall had a band this year called "The Eyes of God". Unusually for this very creative, internationally known, and trained at the Chelsea School of Art in London designer, he had only one design for the entire band : The Eyes of God

And his King of Carnival was Pegasus

Hmm, wonder who was playing mas this year...
