FFS, do any of you REALLY think the PTB have any intent that anyone in the general public should be allowed to escape their clutches by riding the gold price up up and away?

They have no intent on letting any of you get away.

They believe in their cold little hearts that your gold that you bought from them is still theirs and they have no intent to leave you to profit from it.

By any estimate in real life in times of massive stress and turmoil, not to mention real significant inflation gold should be sky high, but that would allow you potential financial independence which they cannot and will not ever allow for any length of time, and as time gets short they have to create a condition where they profit and the public falls further and further into unpayable debt to them.
