Links to be used during a Global Emergency

Updated on June 24, 2023

Supersedes Prior Issue

May the Peace of God be upon you!

Eventually, the Internet will first start to fail in parts of the world until it will finally fail completely.

This communication addresses the time when the Internet will be operable but only in various parts of the world and in a totally random manner.

Along 2021-2023, we have streamlined the situation of our servers. Correspondingly, this document is now very simplified as compared to previous versions.

Now, instead of having to save a file with some sets of links, all you have to remember is the main and the backup domain of The M+G+R Foundation, wich are:

Main Server - Currently in the United States

https://www.mgr.org/

Backup Server - Currently in Europe:

https://www.mgrfoundation.org

Since each server, wherein the documents are stored, is in a separate continent, we expect that this could "buy some time" in the final stretch when Internet, as we know it, breaks down. (1)

They work also with the prefix "http" instead of "https". That is:

http://www.mgr.org/

http://www.mgrfoundation.org

Please note: Since the Internet mechanism associated to the secure system "https" is an additional layer on top of the traditional, more simple mechanism "http", there is a possibility that, when Internet starts to crumble, the more simple links with http still would work while the https could fail. (2)

Beyond this, there is nothing else, that we know of, that we can do so that what we have published in the Name of God is available to you until the complete collapse of the Internet, and then the world as we know it now.

As an act of Thanksgiving, please pray for the spiritual and temporal well being of those who, through their generous no-strings-attached financial assistance, have also made this possible for the benefit of all.

May God Bless you all!

Note: As an aside, we inform/remind you about a situation regarding phone technologies that shares the same principle of "the more simple, the more robust":

In case of local (or global) emergency, while normal callings may easily fail, the texting through SMS (not Watshapp, Telegram, etc.) may still work. This is because the systems on which SMS technology depends have become more simple than those for phone calls; so, in a way, the SMS technology is more robust. A wisdom courtesy of the lated Miguel de Portugal.

NOTES

(1) For the same reason, each Registrar of the corresponding Domain (the system that links the domain name with the actual server) is now also in the corresponding continent (America or Europe).

(2) For those interested in the technical details:

• http is a two-legged system that depends on: (a) the servers where the documents and stored; and (b) the registrar (another type of servers) that provides to you, transparently, the service that links the domain name to the actual servers where the documents are stored.

• https is a three-legged system that depends on: the same (a) y (b) as with http, plus (c) a third type of servers that provides you, tranparently, the certification mechanism, so that your communication with (a) goes encrypted.

• In normal times, https is, in a sense, more robust, since it provides a better quality service. But it is more complex, depending on a third party (c). Therefore, in emergency times it could happen the paradox that it fails (ceases to work because the servers providing (c) are down), while http stands.
