Milky Way SMBH Remains Active

A strange belief has been encountered that due to lack of X-radiation from that direction, we should assume that our Super Massive Black Hole is not feeding on additional matter. It is supposed here that current misinformation about the workings of polar jets could be at the root of that misconception. Electrons under acceleration from polar jets produce the X-Rays detected from the direction of some black holes. That is natural where the accretion disks of such BHs remain thin enough to function electrically as disks: The proton rims of such a disk  pushes electrons down to the disk's rotational axis, producing a gigantic electron gun. That makes for the radiation.

Once the accretion disk grows fat from electrostatic expansion along the rotational axis, a spheroidal formation has overtaken such a mature galactic center to result in formation of a ball of electrons around the black hole instead of the axial alignment formed by a disk. Our black hole continues to feed from the descending stream of pulverized stellar matter that lights up a bar formation across  our galactic bulge. As long as electrons are held within the bulge, no X-Rays occur no matter how fast the black hole grows.
