In Kelsterbach, a Frankfurt/Main suburb, local mayor Manfred Ockel was caught red-handed employing the herbicide "glyphosate." Ockel’s intent was to remove all bushes and shrubs from boundary forests near Frankfurt/Main airport preserved for the protection of neighbours against noise and dust, apparently for perceived security pretexts. Once Kelsterbach Citizen’s Group began paying attention, Ockel alleged that his underwood clear cut had been to root out neophytes, foreign species conquering the livelihoods of local plants. This documentation proves that his excuses are phoney, and that the controversial herbicide was indeed employed for a purpose it was neither developed, produced or marketed for by the agromonopolist holding the patent.
