My brother just bought a new car with On Star tracking. He said if you lock the keys in the car you can call a number and the company unlocks it via remote. Lots of convenient little features but too creepy for me. I would not give up privacy for a little extra security.

I wouldn't sign up for GPS tracking services, but what if the car comes with it and others can activate it if they so choose?

There is no way I would submit to digital implants in my body. The problem is, the way healthcare, businesses, etc are headed, a person might not be able to function in society without it. I don't know how many people will resist vs. how many will submit.

My personal plan is to become as self-sufficent as possible.

I don't know why Catholics don't focus on Apocalypse as much as Protestants. Some with a Protestant background like Gerry Matatics and Robert Sungenis do, but when I was growing up (post VII), I was simply told that only God knows the end of time and we should behave as though each day is our last.

I'm looking for more traditional material on the subject but haven't found anything yet.

They run commercials for On Star all during the day on my local radio station. It is probably only installed and operative for expensive cars, but it is here now.

I know. Insurance companies may require it to the extent that people who opt against the medical version will be up a creek.

That Baja Beach Club scenario I thought might be tinfoil, but they have a website, unless it is a hoax, that tells how it has already been done to "buy and sell". Just an exclusive club for now, but that is the first time I ever heard it being experimented with for actual purchasing goods.

The one problem I have with it is I can see how it could become compulsory in some countries, but the logistics of implementing it world wide on a compulsory basis kind of stretches things, for now at least.

No, debit card is as far as I plan to go with this. I don't want myself or my family to use any injected chip for buying and selling, or rather not for medical purposes or getting lost, even if it might not be what some people think it is.

Now technically, there are already pacemakers, etc., which are installed in the body, but that is a different animal imo.

That's the best advice I could give.

Most of what you will find is modern false teaching. Try reading "Worthy is the Lamb" by R. Summers for an explanation of what the book of Revelation meant to first century christians.
