The self-decreed title alone should be enough to tell you that we're in flavour country but it's worth going into a bit more depth. He's been mentioned in a couple of other posts (once by @j.peikko and once by @Daario Naharis) and I thought he deserved his own thread. As there's not a godcow or conspiracycow (cowspiracy?) prefix, I went for careercow as he does occasionally beg for donations on his website.
The Basics
William Tapley is an 80-something year old retired furniture engineer and current youtube prophet of Roman Catholic eschatological doom in the same manner as Paul Begley (another person begging for their own thread).

What's he preaching?
The rapidly upcoming apocalypse that is really going to happen this time you guys, this is the time, this one now. Now he's been predicting and preaching for more than seven years now with a fairly consistent output of one to four intensely smug videos a week so detailing the entire pyramid of paranoid nonsense would be a nearly impossible task, but basically, the world is going to come to an end in the autumn of 2017:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events
He recently decided the current Pope, whom he started off receiving relatively warmly, is the false prophet:
Although it might also be German Cardinal Bergoglio:
The Last King of the South is Barack Obama and the Last King of the North is Vladimir Putin:
And the big one, the Antichrist himself is - drumroll please - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (for the moment at least).
Putting the fun into fundamentalist
Where does he see the signs of the end-times coming from? Usually from viral images and videos on youtube . . . Oh great and powerful lorb, show unto me a sign of things to come in a 4 minute k-pop video
Grant unto me, oh maker of the universe and controller of all things, a vision of your power in a Google doodle:
Aside from pareidolia, the other half of his MO is retrospective assignment of predictions
The Illuminati are involved
Because of course they are. If your theory, no matter what the cause or what the outcome, is starting to wobble or fall apart then the Illuminati will always be there to prop it up; an invisible organisation with unliminted powers who are always careful to leave one or two heavily disguised calling cards at the scene of their crimes:
An eighty-year-old attention whore
If you shout loud enough then someone will always hear you and apparently if you drone on smugly and crazily for long enough someone will also hear you: one of his predictions, regarding a prophecy seen in an imagined phallic symbol in Denver international airport was picked up by the Colbert Report and he's made it onto silver fox Anderson Cooper's ridicu-list multiple times.
The video in question:
With the almost inevitable outcome that in every video for about three months afterwards he was nearly begging them to pay attention to him again, though still with the same insufferably smug voice.
The Tapman rocks out with his cock out (and nowhere near a condom)
There's more. There's so much more, and more than one person can recount in one post; I've not even started on his numerology. But there's enough here to gauge if other people are interested.
As you might have seen in some of the other videos above Bill likes to sing, making him the second worst musical act with Eagles in their name
So, play us out Tapman
