I don’t know why but I’ve been getting a lot of spam both via email and in the comments that are odd in that they seem to have no purpose. Here’s one I received today.

Oil hovers below $78 after US crude supplies jump Predicting an end to Roe v. Wade On the contrary, the contractors deal as they see fit, with those whom they employ, or of whom they purchase.I speak of what is in proof. A contractor came to Washington last winter, and received a draft of $180,000 on a specie-paying bank in New York. This he sold at ten per cent premium, and with the avails purchased funds in the West, with which he paid the producer, the farmer, the laborer. This is the operation of specie payments. It gives to the government hard money, to the rich contractor hard money; but to the producer and the laborer it gives paper, and bad paper only. And yet this system is recommended as specially favoring the poor man, rather than the rich, and credit is claimed for this administration as the poor mans friend. Let us look a little more nearly at this matter, and see whom, in truth, it does favor. Who are the rich in this country? There is very little hereditary wealth among us; and large capitalists are not numerous. Wishing some information that he had not obtained in relation to a surrender of the western posts by the British, he addressed a note to the secretary of state, asking permission to make that particular examination; to which he received the following answer:—- Thomas Jefferson presents his respectful compliments to Colonel Burr, and is sorry to inform him it has been concluded to be improper to communicate the correspondence of existing ministers.He hopes this will, with Colonel Burr, be his sufficient apology. In April, 1792, there was an election for governor of the State of New-York. By some it was supposed that Governor Clinton would decline being again considered a candidate. It was known that John Jay would be the candidate of the federal party. At that period Colonel Burr had warm personal friends in both parties, who were urging his pretensions. Among the most ardent was Judge Yates. In the latter part of February, 1792, he authorized his friends to state that he declined a nomination. The criminal is always a sophist; and finds in his own reason a special pleader to twist laws human and divine into a sanction of his crime.The rogue is so much in the habit of cheating, that he packs the cards even when playing at Patience with himself. –STEPHEN MONTAGUE. The only two acquaintances in this populous city whom Glendower possessed who were aware that in a former time he had known a better fortune were Wolfe and a person of far higher worldly estimation, of the name of Crauford. With the former the student had become acquainted by the favour of chance, which had for a short time made them lodgers in the same house.

So what exactly is the point of it? There are no links or any other sales pitch. It’s just gibberish. Why would someone send that?
