Page 15, panel 1
Booster Gold is just one of the many super-heroes worldwide who are making a public show of fighting crime in response to a wave of faked videos depicting heroes attacking citizens that has turned the world against heroes. (Citizens manipulated to turn against heroes was also a key plot point in Legends, which led to the formation of the original Justice League International). Booster is joined by his JLI teammates Blue Beetle (and his Bug airship), Fire, Ice, and Martian Manhunter battling a wave of robots in in the streets below Big Ben in London, England. Also present in London (though never seen on-panel with Booster): the once-dead but now feeling much better Elongated Man!

Amanda Waller and her robot ally Failsafe, the force behind the faked videos, unleash her army of Amazo robots based on individual members of the Justice League of America. The Amazo, codenamed Global Guardian, sent to disable the JLI in London wears a costume based on Martian Manhunter's and will use the powers of Manhunter, Fire, and Ice simultaneously. (For the record, Failsafe is a rogue artificial intelligence created by Batman. A rogue artificial intelligence created by Batman was also a key villain in Infinite Crisis.)

Page 26, panel 3
Green Arrow, who has betrayed the Justice League and joined Waller's Task Force VII, claims he has taken her side to be "on the right side of history." This is similar to Booster's claim to being "on the right side of the fence for once" when he betrayed the Justice League to join the Manhunters during Millennium (in Booster Gold #24).

POWER DOWN: Green Arrow claims Waller has "sealed away the timestream" and access to other universes, both of which were key elements in Convergence. Waller also claims to be able to "drain" devices, presumably by depleting their power sources. How the world's heroes react to no longer having powers was the key element in JLA: Act of God.
