desu does imply "being", as in "Anonymous desu" which would be "it's anonymous" or "i'm anonymous". without an actual subject, or more commonly by pretentious weeaboos such as myself, a topic (marked by "wa"), it doesn't really mean much. something like "ore wa gaijin da" would translate into "i'm a gaijin" or perhaps less accurately, but more word for word, "regarding me, it's a gaijin". "da" of course is another way of saying "desu", and is used by guys more often than not.
"wa" does not mean "is". it simply provides the topic of the sentence. i could say "Anonymous wa full moon wo sagashiteiru" and it would mean "Anonymous searches for the full moon". In English, we might choose to write it as "Anonymous IS searching for the full moon", but there really isn't an "is" in there.
now that we have been taught this important lesson on desu, let us see more desu.
