Since 1959, and especially since Little Havana/Miami lawyers got the infamous Helms-Burton Act permanently passed in Congress in 1996, Revolutionary Cuba hasn't even bothered to represent itself in U. S. courtrooms. But INCREDIBLY...the above headline stunned Cubans on the island this second week in April of 2022!!! I mean...Cuban monopolies that made millions of dollars in Cuba prior to the Revolution's victory in 1959 have made billions of dollars since landing on anti-Cuban soil in the United States...such as multi-billionaire U. S. monopolies such as...Bacardi Rum, FANJUL SUGAR, etc., etc. etc. Yet, one pro-Cuban headline from a U. S. court is finally a bit astounding and totally unfathomable.
A federal court in Virginia actually produced this incredible pro-Cuba verdict: "The United States Patent and Trademark Office {PTO} won a lawsuit filed by the rum manufacturer Bacardi & Co. after the agency reaffirmed that Havana Club is Cuban property." Incredible, astounding, unfathomable!!
Yes, incredible!!! Now poor little EMBARGOED Cuba will still be allowed to make a few pennies from Havana Club sales while, of course, Bacardi Superior and the other brands will continue to make billions for the extended U.S.-based Bacardi family, but Havana Club can make a few pennies for Cuba??? Incredible!!

I mean, what the hell was that Virginia court thinking this week??? I mean...since 1962 the U.S. EMBARGO and since 1996 the X-rated Helms-Burton Act have both been legal, wonderful, and permanent United States laws and institutions, right? But in the second week of April in 2022 a federal court in Virginia actually produced a pro-Cuban verdict on American soil??? I mean...give me a break, and maybe even a bottle of Havana Club.
