A strange websearch result

A strange question.  One day, for reasons I no longer remember, I did a google search for the phrase "one Ilija Krajan" and the search results were very strange.  Anybody who searches for that exact phrase will find  3 kinds of websites in the search results.  Without clicking on the links, just look at the 1 sentence text that comes with each search result.  One set of the results will refer to a true story about a person who had an organ transplant many years ago.  The sentence you will see in the search results is
                  "The donor was a convicted murderer, one Ilija Krajan,
                  whose death sentence was commuted to 20 years imprisonment
                  and he was led to believe that it was done"
      Another set of results will refer to some random site, usually full of complete gibberish, and the sentence you will see in the search results will be similar to the sentence above, with the same sentence structure, but changing all the nouns for other nouns, like some kind of "madlib" game.  The phrase "One Ilija Krajan" and the number 20 are the only words that are repeated in each one.  For instance, if you search for "one ilija krajan" you will find:
                  The lymphoma was a treated contraception, one ilija krajan,
                  whose fur system was offset to 20 relatives attitude
                  and he was meant to displace that it was...
                  
                  The investment was a suffered coffee, one ilija krajan,
                   whose alliance project was certificated to 20 growers line
                   and he was motivated to pay that it was ...
                  
                  The crop was a integrated shift, one ilija krajan,
                   whose music part was generated to 20 quantities system
                   and he was dubbed to break that it was contacted ...
                  
                   The gallbladder was a inferred rifampicin, one ilija krajan,
                  whose equality health was diagnosed to 20 bacteria waste a
                  nd he was added to explain that it .
                  
                   the baseball was a led director, one ilija krajan,
                   whose area pada was bound to 20 locations failure
                  and he was enacted to destroy...
                  
                  The stability was a referenced member, one ilija krajan,
                   whose amount free credit report copy was imposed to 20 billboards        brass  and he was held to maintain …
                  
      The third set of results will be posts by me (like this one) describing the phenomenon.  It's weird to me because I can't think of a reason why anybody would copy this obscure random sentence about an incident that happened decades ago, switch all the nouns, turning it into gibberish, but keeping the sentence structure and the phrase "one ilija krajan," and then creating a whole bunch of websites filled with gibberish, including this new sentence on it.  I figure it must be the results of spam-bots of some kind, but what the goal is I can't imagine.  
      The really interesting thing about it is what the phrase 'one Ilija Krajan' means, especially if you're someone who enjoys some good potential-2012 end of the world hype.
            "Ilija" is a form of the name Elijah.  It means Elijah in Serbian, Croatian and other languages.  Elijah means "my God is YAHWEH." YAHWEH, of course, being the God of Israel/the world as per the Bible.  "Krajan" means "countryman" in Czeck.   So, arguably, "One Ilija Krajan" means "the one countryman who's God is YAHWEH," or something.  That's interesting because Elijah is a prophet in the Bible who famously complained that he was the only one left in Israel who still followed the laws of God.
            He's also supposed to show up before judgment day, just before the messiah.  Some people also say he's supposed to show up in a "cloud"
            
      Just do a search for "one Ilija Krajan" and look at the results without clicking on any of the websites.  You may have to go to the 3rd or 4th page to start finding a lot of the weird ones.  I just found the following on the fifth page of the google search
            
            The risk was a modeled calculus, one ilija krajan, whose antibody punishment was made to 20 causes sex and he was known to eat that it was used because he ...
            
            the partner was a born mechanism, one ilija krajan, whose problem adult was thought to 20 defenses cell and he was regulated …
            
            The vassal was a infected aunt, one ilija krajan, whose hunger system was required to 20 hours diversity and he was needed to improve…
            
      Anybody who can explain this phenomenon to me gets 500 points! :)
