Just heard this. Why would he chose Bolton? Because he is a hardliner? I just don't like him influencing the potus.
Each SSN-774 Virginia-class submarine requires approximately 9,200 pounds of rare earth metals, each DDG-51 Aegis destroyer requires approximately 5,200 pounds, and each F-35 Lightning II aircraft requires approximately 920 pounds. Structural materials in aircraft and surface vehicles including Navy craft are lighter, more corrosion resistant, operable at higher temperatures, and capable of performing much more sophisticated functions than materials used in the past.
Modern electronics-based weaponry depends on rare earths for its function. High strength magnets make possible the operation of actuators and sensors involved in transmission of information to weapons allowing them to complete designated tasks.
Lockheed Martin is working on a small, high-power laser weapon that the Air Force Research Laboratory wants to test in a tactical fighter aircraft by 2021. Its active gain medium is a flexible optical fiber infused with a rare-earth element such as erbium or neodymium.
Rare-earth elements are widely used in strong, permanent magnets impervious to temperature extremes. They are used in fin actuators, in missile guidance, and control systems; disk drive motors installed in aircraft and tanks; satellite communications; and radar and sonar systems.
Flat screens and hard drives are pervasive in the military, from office computers to combat aircraft, ships, and vehicles. Missile guidance and control motors and actuators depend on small, powerful rare-earth magnets. If it were not for them, precision-guided weapons such as the satellite-guided Joint Direct Attack Munition would require much bulkier and more expensive hydraulic systems.
The generators that produce electrical power for aircraft all contain samarium-cobalt magnets. The stealth technology that produces white noise to help conceal the sound of helicopter rotor blades uses such magnets as well. F-22 tail fins and rudders move due to motors with powerful, miniature REE magnets. Electronic warfare jamming devices use rare-earth materials, as do laser targeting systems and nascent laser weapons.

I don't know about Bolton but I bet McMaster was the leaker.

Trump sending a message to NK by appointing Bolton.
Good call.
McM was planning to retire anyways. I think this has been planned for some time.

Were you aware that it was recently discovered that North Korea is sitting on the worlds largest deposit of rare earth metals? In fact their deposit is twice as large as the world’s total known reserves prior to this discovery.
March 14, 2018 – Rare Earth Element (REE ) mineral metals are continuing to be mined out-of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea ( North Korea ) by China, that is selling strategic defense product supplies back to U.S. national defense contractors.
U.S. Army Brigadier General John Adams, Retired, wrote a lengthy 2013 report on this issue of China holding a monopoly on Rare Earth Elements against U.S. National Security interests, and continues working to see these issues addressed today.
Trump stepped up to the plate with a number of high-level meetings on this U.S. National Security issue involving ‘Rare Earth Element ( REE ) defense components coming from China’, finally began being eyed suspiciously.
Now, elements associated with a U.S. National Trade Commission is addressing these issues but quietly behind the scenes away-from mainstream news reporting ears. But, ‘why’?

CEO of Washington Post is on the BOD of Facebook.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Washington Post CEO Don Graham Mentor Each Other
www.hollywoodreporter.com...
And Amazon's Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post...
,,,and the Clowns run WAPO.
The Clowns control all Media. We are seeing it with YouTube, FB, just like MSM. any site that projects and relevant influence is controlled. Not every individua,l but there is many was to pressure someone or someone's to kill or insert a story.
So we're turning over government cloud service to Bezos, Amazon...and ultimately the Clowns.
Announcing the New AWS Secret Region
The AWS Secret Region can operate workloads up to the Secret U.S. security classification level. The AWS Secret Region is readily available to the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) through the IC’s Commercial Cloud Services (C2S) contract with AWS. The AWS Secret Region also will be available to non-IC U.S. Government customers with appropriate Secret-level network access and their own contract vehicles for use of the AWS Secret Region. These contract vehicles will not be part of the IC’s C2S contract.
With the launch of this new Secret Region, AWS becomes the first and only commercial cloud provider to offer regions to serve government workloads across the full range of data classifications, including Unclassified, Sensitive, Secret, and Top Secret. By using the cloud, the U.S. Government is better able to deliver necessary information and data to mission stakeholders.

There are pages and pages and pages of unverifed connections being discussed in this very thread.
That is how brainstorming works. The cream floats to the top. I appreciate your skepticism but it's really getting repetitive at this point. Anyone who really wants to know who Q is can deduce it with enough research as I'm sure plenty here have. There is no need to bring it here and jeopardize the thread. The information/disinformation issue is well understood to those who have followed and/or studied the Q posts. I'm having a hard time understanding why you need 10 posts to say basically the same thing.

Would it blow your mind if I told you BO has been to NK and perhaps there now?
Why did his administration do little to slow their nuclear and missle capabilities?
Who feeds NK w/ strategic intel? Iran?
What deal was done with Iran under BO?
Why was the deal sealed under a top secret classification?
Why wasn’t Congress notified?
Why after BO left office all of a sudden NK has nukes and the tech to miniaturize for payload delivery within the US? What about NSA CIA DI etc all confirming tech won’t be in place for 5+ years (statements made in 2016).
Why is all of this relevant and what does it tell you?
Big picture is rare.
(Bold emphasese mine)
A few things in this post, which I've bolded, indicate to me this is a key post we need to uncover facts on?
1) The deal is TOP SECRET so Q can't give us easy leads, however he obviously wants us to uncover it?
2) Why use "w/" for with on one line and then use "with" on the next? People usually use "w/" when rushed and for all occurences in a mail; so using both forms seems deliberate?
3) Can someone tell me what "DI" is, it's not a term we hear in UK? Does it look in place next to NSA and CiA? or is it a SPELLING MISTAKE?
4) "Why is all this relevant and what does it tell you?" - indicates that if we find facts about this it will build proof of something else?
5) "Big picture is rare." - a) this reinforces point 4, b) Rare is an odd term to use - unless the rarity implies great value?
and lasly,
6) Has anyone researched or found any additional info or proofs around this post?
Ps If Q wanted to lead us to something with this but needed plausible deniabilty because it's Top Secret, then a magic square message would be appropriate? I'm assuming the answers needed are more specific than just "CIA uses NK as its autonomous playground".
