We previously found that the spectral state switch and quiescent luminosities of low mass x-ray binaries, including galactic black hole candidates (GBHC), could be explained by a magnetic propeller effect that requires an intrinsically magnetized central object [ApJ, 565, 447, (2002)]. Later we found that such objects could be accommodated by General Relativity. [Found. Phys. Lett. 16, 143, (2003), [ApJ, 596, L203, (2003)]. We show here how a thin accretion disk can interact with the central magnetic field in atoll class NS and GBHC and AGN, modeled as intrinsically magnetic objects, to produce jets that emit radio-infrared luminosity correlated with mass and x-ray luminosity as M^(0.75 - 0.92) L_x^2/3 up to a mass scale invariant cutoff at the spectral state switch. Comparing the intrinsic magnetic model to observations, the exponent, mass scale invariant cutoff, and radio luminosity ratios of AGN, GBHC and atoll class NS are correctly predicted, which strongly implies that GBHC and AGN have observable intrinsic magnetic moments and hence do not have event horizons.
