the energetic throwing off of high energy xrays..is a photon boasted to a higher frequency? allowing it to escape the black hole.

No, the X-ray jets are not "escaping" from the black hole. That is, no matter how energetic, they are not coming back out through the event horizon. They are being produced by the material that is in the process of being torn apart through the intense tidal forces - BEFORE falling in.
The intense magnetic field accelerates these x-rays to the black hole's north and south magnetic poles, where they form the famous jets.

A black hole is by definition of cosmologist a burned out star.That means that it no longer emits micromass radiation (light). It now becomes a space sponge absorbing light just like the Earth not being a star also absorbs light. When the Earth absorbs light it increases in mass. Hence it means that a photon cannot be masseles.Micromasses do travels at different frequency depending on the origin of the radiation flux of light.
Electron( a high density mass of of about 1.14 x10^14 kg/meter^3) can be considered a black hole because it absorbs(sponges) the micromasses of light and when a limit has been reached it radiates the excess right back out into space in order to maintain rotational equilibrium.

Maybe a photon is not massless. It's mass may be too small to be measured yet.
