Description
Following the end of The Great War, Heinrich Himmler and a number of his highest-ranking generals were tried and executed at Nuremberg. Discovered during the trials was a small manifesto, which warned that the best years of the human race are behind us, and that only darkness and chaos lies ahead. The most famous passage written has received a fair share of speculation and use in popular culture.
"...and at the end, a swarm will rise, one billion strong, to rid the world of those who deny us unity. Humanity seeks the light because it has something in the dark to flee from. The light must be extinguished."
The manifesto recieved a fair share of media attention, before it was hidden away somewhere in the Library of Congress.
In the wake of the Soviet Union's defeat by Germany, a number of surviving Communist leaders and followers attempted to establish a new Communist Union somewhere in the world. This became known as the Red Scare, and while almost every attempt failed, government propaganda still ran rampant. However, some would end in tragedy, especially the Antimatter bombing of Hanoi and the controversial Mexican Gulf War.
Amidst all of this, other terrorist groups and factions rose in the Middle East, many of whom were oppossed to "Western Imperialism" they believed existed in the world's two superpowers, the United States and Canada. Also among them were a large number of White Supremacist groups and self-proclaimed "Liberators" of oppressed minorities.
In July 1959, during the height of the Civil Rights movement, 25 Ku Klux Klan members were found lynched in along a street in Savannah, Georgia. Their faces were covered by burlap sacs, all of their internal organs were removed, and each still had their robes on.
The group responsible stepped forward that day, saying that the "Swarm had arrived" and that "humanity no longer had to be afraid." Their emblem was the wasp symbol pictured above. Exactly what WASP stands for has not yet been identified.
WASP went on to execute a large number of other terrorist cells and their leaders, including bringing an end to the East African Civil War
At first, some questioned whether or not to prosecute the people responsible. They argued that, while they had killed thousands, they had also saved large numbers of people.
However, this discussion came to an end in 1963, with the Assassination of President Richard Nixon in Dallas, Texas. The perpetrator, a man wearing an odd-looking black and midnight blue suit with bright yellow highlights and yellow eyes on a prodimently blue helmet, escaped on a WASP VTOL near a warehouse in the city. It disappeared from radar and sonar within minutes.
WASP was designated #1 most dangerous terrorist organization in the world by the United Nations. Members of the group were designated as "Yellowjackets."
In the intervening years, WASP assassinated other high-ranking politicians and terrorist groups, and committed horrific medical experiments on innocent people.
WASP's most infamous attack on American soil occured one March night in 1983, when a group of Yellowjackets inflitrated a suburb in Seattle, breaking into homes and murdering over 155 people. Several of them were surgically eviscerated.
This became the known as the Seattle Massacre, and would be considered the worst terrorist attack in American history until the 9/11 attacks, one of which also took place, purposfully, in Seattle.
However, while the majority of them escaped, one Yellowjacket was apprehended by members of the FBI. When questioned about who was in charge of WASP, where their headquarters was, and why they were doing these things, the Yellowjacket refused to speak.
Instead, he took a piece of paper and a red pencil, making what looked like two red parallelograms that he called the eyes of his "Leader," only known as Mr. Black. When asked who their Leader was, the Yellowjacket simply stated "...he is something greater."
Days later, the Yellowjacket and the four interogators were all found dead. The causes of death for all four seemed to be sudden and violent aneurysms, even though only two were diagnosed with any sort of cardiovascular conditions. The term "Mr. Black" became the accepted term for the enigmatic leader of WASP, with rumors that he was some kind of demon or even Satan himself. The two red eyes became the symbol for him, and is widely known on the internet today, even with a page on Knowyourmeme.com. The Yellowjacket Uniform was placed in the Smithsonian Mueseum in Washington D.C.
Today, WASP has been responsible for attacks in America, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Paraguay, Russia, the Arab Union, Iran, Ireland, India, Japan, Australia, New Germany, Czechaustria, and at least 15 other nations.
Their exact numbers, where they come from, and the true identity of Mr. Black are all unknown.
However, in recent years, the frequency of WASP's attacks has dropped significantly. Whether they have begun to disband or they're preparing for something is unknown, but it hasn't stopped rumors from circulating around the internet.
Whatever the case, the status on them remains the same. Whoever or Whatever they are, they are not to be trusted. Ever.
