To activate Insurrection Act, The POTUS has to first declare a state of emergency, which he did just now.

https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/verify/insurrection-act-trump-military-capotil-breach-riots-violence-25th-amendment-president/65-7fc971f7-3f58-4f47-8b6a-9a1a80ccfd91 "Peck makes it very clear that there is an essential first step if a president decides to unilaterally invoke the Insurrection Act. He must issue a public proclamation declaring his intent to invoke.

"This public proclamation basically asks those who are the insurgents to cease and desist and go back to their homes peaceably, and give them the opportunity to do that." Peck says that alert also gives the checks and balances system to kick in.“

Could be concern over the false idea that trump supporters plan an attack on the 17th. That's a made up fear. There's been no such call here or any trump forum I'm aware of. It's CNN making up threats now, or rather, they are reporting false threats, which will have the same effect as if a real threat existed. Horrible precedence.

There are no leaders anymore.

No, they're prepping for when antifa shows up and false flags.
