This “political cartoon” you see below is actually an optical illusion based on an old optical trick that some of you may have seen before (remember original Jesus Illusion). The primary image is the Twin Towers during the attacks six years go, on September 11th, 2001. But as you see, in the sky over the towers is a specter that forms in the mind as an “after-image” when you stare at it long enough. Works in a same way all those other afterimages worked.
To experience this optical illusion, look at the top middle of the image – look at the four tiny black dots that run in a line between the hearts. Now stare at the dots very close, for about 6 inches from your screen. Keep your focus on the dots for a minute or so, then, look away from the monitor at a bright blank wall. You may need to blink a few times, but then specter that George W. Bush sees in the events of September 11th, will appear in front of you… Amazing!
