Hello patriots I need some help uncovering the truth. This post is about the embargo imposed on the Cuban dictatorship and how they are bypassing it. This beer Company out of California is selling imported beer that appears to be the Cuban beer Cristal under the new name Palma. Same logo, same everything, the only thing that changes is the name of the beer itself.
here is a link https://cervezapalma.com/about-palma%C2%AE
The company claims to be privately owned by a family, I suspect the Cuban gov is simply bypassing the embargo or some sort of agreement has been made with the state of California for this operation. The beer is mainly sold in south Florida, with lots of Cubans there. However, the beer is also sold in southern California and is based out of California. Is California in violation of the embargo imposed on Cuba? That's why I need your help. To find out, if they are doing this what else are they doing illegally? this link mentions the beer is made in Nicaragua,

however, the Nicaragua beer company does not have it listed as a product. So it cant be Nicaraguan.

It shows what their imported beers are as well as their own made products. Palma beer is not listed.
The Cuban media has told the Cuban citizens that the beer is another attempt by the US Gov to steal profits from the island. This is a cover story so they can keep telling the citizens that the reason they are starving is because of the embargo and all attempts made by the US. This is clearly not accurate as the Cuban Gov is allowed to buy food in the united states in order to feed its population, these products are bought cheaply and then resold to the Cuban population at inflated prices. Why is this a big deal? Because we could potentially have a situation where the California Gov and the Cuban Gov are actively collaborating against the embargo placed on the Cuban communist regime, due to human rights abuses and violation of international law.
In 2003 it was attempted to be trademarked for sale in the U.S by a ghost company, Three palms holdings LLC out of Florida, most likely operated by the Cuban gov., and again in 2015 by the Canadian company Cerbuco Brewing Inc out of Toronto Canada, that was helping the Cuban gov get the trademark so they could sell it on U.S soil. Finally, the trademark was granted in 2019 to the current Soltura LLC dba Bucanero USA. with the same logo, all the same design, and the claim that the beer is Cuban beer.
I could really use some of your help finding financial records, to see if the money is going to the Cuban dictatorship, or if it is being laundered some other way.
Sorry: not autist. But congratulations on your analysis.
As soon as I tried to get some attention to this on Facebook (my first and only post there) it was shut down within 2 minutes lol .. a community guidelines violation. Dam Commies
If this is going on, I highly doubt the feds are not aware. This means that they are aware they are doing this in violation of the embargo. I wouldn't put it passed them tho. I suspect the cuban gov in its current form simply serves as a beta test for what the left wants to do here. sad times. Thank you
update.. registration documents show this https://opencorporates.com/statements/1032569630
the address is just a crappy house. looks like a ghost company in order to be able to sell the product here in the usa.
Not at autist, but here to say I love your username! Top kek!
lol
Are you sure you are spelling Crystal right?

And did you even try a basic search?

I have some bad news for you it would seem. It's been five hours, and you got no replies of value. There are no autists on in this forum anymore.

Did you skim the article??? Did you not see the part where the trademark went into default, and was registered by a different company?
And why would you illegally bypass an embargo, when you can sell off your assets, to legally bypass it?
yes, I am from there after all. I know it well.
the trademark default you are speaking of is the Canadian company that tried to trademark it on behalf of the communist regime. The company had 90 days to show the court proof but they took no action and the trademark went to Soltura LLC dba Bucanero USA. which is the current fake company that is being used to sell the product and bypass the embargo. Trust me I wouldn't be wasting my time if I didn't dig deep and hard about this topic.
But if you have the name. You don't need to bypass an embargo. Similar to Fanta cola during WWII. But opposite, as here, we are taking the trademark and name out of country, where as then they changed the name. The ingredients are cheaper elsewhere, so that's where you would produce. And then, you sell to the Cuban American consumer, using brand recognition.
The original Trademarked Cristal is not allowed for sale by the Cuban regime in the united states. That trademark just like Bacardi was stolen from the legal owners. They used the same logo, and even the beer claims to be the same preferred by Cubans in Cuba, however, the Cuban government is the one claiming that the USA trademarked Palma is made in Nicaragua. The Nicaragua beer factory does not have it on its list as produced or imported beer. This is a fake company set up by the communist on US soil to bypass the embargo.
List of Imports or Exports? In addition, it may be bottled there, but that does not make it theirs. Similarly, Dr. Pepper, is bottled by both Coco-Cola and Pepsi Co, depending on which side of America you live on. Dr. Pepper is an independent company that lacks bottling facilities. Or at least it was, some 20 years ago.
I provided the link to the Nicaraguan beer producer. Palma is not listed as imported or produced by them. Mind you it is only the Cuban government claiming that the beer sold in the united states as Palma is made in Nicaragua and not in Cuba. also, The trademark was attempted twice prior to the granting in 2019. In 2003 it was attempted to be trademarked for sale in the U.S by a ghost company, Three palms holdings LLC out of Florida, most likely operated by the Cuban gov., and again in 2015 by the Canadian company Cerbuco Brewing Inc out of Toronto Canada, that was helping the Cuban gov get the trademark so they could sell it on U.S soil. Finally, the trademark was granted in 2019 to the current Soltura LLC dba Bucanero USA. with the same logo, all the same design, and the claim that the beer is Cuban beer.
They can bottle a beer, but that does not mean they own it, similar to Pepsi bottling Dr. Pepper.
Import, implies import into Nicaragua, and not out of. That would be exports.
I didn't see it on their exported beer.
it is spelled cristal and not crystal. that was my error. regardless I have provided links to both the Cuban sold version in the island cristal, and the exported Palma version, as well as bucanero beer made in the same factory.
I think you should reread the article you posted. As the trademark was abandoned, and register by another company 3 years later. And taste tests, first paragraph, prove it to be a different beer, with a different flavor.
I think they are simply banking on a recognizable name that they adopted.
Sure you can bounce a high price box of Cuban cigars off a South American country, but a low profit 6 pack of beer, is a bit out of the Question, especially if you own the name, and can import it from a country that isn't suffering supply chain issues.
if that was the case why is the company registered to show a address that takes you to a shit shack house? Also, the address listed on the official website leads to no place at all when entered in google maps. The most recent trademark is 2019 as the official site, and the records site that I posted also shows. ;)
FYI: Zillow shows that property listed at $1,677,700. Which is right around the price range for a home owned by a former C.E.O. So, that is most likely the adress for the former companies assets.
https://www.zillow.com/homes/312-N-Rios-Avenue,-Solana-Beach,-CA,-92075_rb/16727324_zpid/
You do not wish to go house shopping in that neighborhood. Because that was one of the cheaper houses.
Do you mean to tell me that shit shack is worth 1.6 mils? This whole thing is susy as hell. Even if the pope lived there, that property is not worth that amount.
It is right off the ocean in California, and within commuting distance to San-Diego. Yes. That is what I am telling you. Houses on that block go as high as 4 million. Now if you wish to see something really suspicious.
Take a look at the property at the end of the block for half the price:
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/202-08-N-Rios-Ave-Solana-Beach-CA-92075/295343721_zpid/
That makes me wonder about the home prices there. Plus a few of the houses are shown as off the market with no value.
Usually it's tax havens. And other times, it's the default holdings location of a bankrupt LLC or company, as I have often looked up old business in my city, to find the new addresses for restaurants being homes.
again go to the official site. https://cervezapalma.com/about-palma%C2%AE
try to find the address listed, you won't find it. The only thing relating to it is the trademark address listed here https://opencorporates.com/statements/1032569630
ABInVev.
That is the parent company of Cristal as of late.
It is a "parent company" comprised of a merger between 3 different companies, one of which is Anheuser Busch, which is the flagship of the merger.
Look into it.
Global bidness doesn't get held up by "embargoes" apparently...
very nice !! thank you.
