Clear proof TOR is used by the evil one, and that cryptography should be banned: http://i.imgur.com/NXT0OOJ.png

Brightest spots in capitals are probably caused by IP geolocation. Whois for many IPs returns main ISP HQ address which usually is based in the capital city. Also, geolocation tools will return capital city if no specific information other than country is available.

I think they could improve they ip2address tool, because I would expect some bright spot at hetzner datacenter and it's not there (while whois for IPs of my servers there returns proper location of the datacenter).

Nevertheless, awesome visualization.

Still can't see it. This feels like one of those magic eyes where I'm the only one that can't see it....

It's an upright one (not inverted), so it represents virtue/protection/etc.

Was just making a joke but thanks for your comment :). The joke was that it looks like a pentagram - but clearly it's just because the big European capitals are formed in that way. That just means Evil has been corrupting the elite of Europe since before Tor...
