Hello Sputnick,
You may not be as far from the school as you'd like to think. Here's one for you, speaking from the "realm of possibility" (which is the exact opposite of the venerable "Cone of Silence"): it's entirely probable that we are saying the same thing but using our own imagery to convey the idea.
For instance,you may find the APOD for 3/30/08 to your likening of dark matter being possessed of currents. After all does anything in this universe stand still? There is belief that visible matter clumps where DM filaments intersect.
The point of my previous post was to present the perspective (a little alliteration for you folks at home) of a small but extreme gravity well with regard to your "squeezed" black-hole jet. As in sailing, is wind pushing on the sail or is it the negative pressure behind the sail pulling? I personally have an easier time understanding the effects of gravity over outside pressures, DM notwithstanding.
Dont't forget, I for one believe dark matter collects into gravity-rich objects whose electrons, in going to a less energetic state, give off photons, and then we can see 'em!
