< My recollection is that when Gold ran to $850, a few decades ago, that interest rates were also going through the roof, and I guess the Fed was tightening. >

Very good point, except that the inflation rate back then was much much higher than today. The other factors that I spoke of and which you mentioned in your post did overwhelm the Fed's tightening stance back then. Keep in mind also that the US Market was not in a bubble back then, but in a Bear market. I think a big intangible factor here in getting Gold to surge is the realization by market participants that a Bear Market has indeed arrived.

Little Joe, I thoroughly expect Gold to rise from the Dead as this Bear Market deepens and the Dollar continues its decline. I don't know where Gold will trade next week, but I do know it will be sharply higher by the fourth quarter of this year.
