The episodic dynamics of the magnetic eruption of a spinning black hole (BH) accretion disks and its associated intense shapeup of their jets is studied via three-dimensional general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD). The embedded magnetic fields in the disk get amplified by the magnetorotational instability (MRI) so large as to cause an eruption of magnetic field (recconection) and large chunks of matter episodically accrete toward the roots of the jets upon such an event. We also find that the eruption events produce intensive Alfven pulses, which propagate through the jets. After the eruption, the disk backs to the weakly magnetic states. Such disk activities cause short time variabilities in mass accretion rate at the event horizon as well as electromagnetic luminosity inside the jet. Since the dimensionless strength parameter $a_0=eE/m_e omega c$ of these Alfven wave pulses is extremely high for a substantial fraction of Eddington accretion rate accretion flow onto a supermassive black hole, the Alfven shocks turn into ultrarelativistic $(a_0gg 1)$ bow wake acceleration, manifesting into the ultra-high energy cosmic rays and electrons which finally emit gamma-rays. Since our GRMHD model has universality in its spatial and temporal scales, it is applicable to a wide range of astrophysical objects ranging from those of AGN (which is the primary target of this research), to micro-quasars. Properties such as time variabilities of blazar gamma-ray flares and spectrum observed by {it Fermi} Gamma-ray Observatory are well explained by linear acceleration of electrons by the bow wake.
