Faster than light communication

In various posts on this blog I have made the argument for a wave only model of EMR. Where light travels at c only in the source frame. (sometimes referred to as an emission model). In addition to this I have shown how all the standard experiments used by relativists and QT enthusiasts can also be shown to be consistent with wave only light that travels only at c in the source frame. Notably the Michaelson Morley experiment which confirms that light always appears to travel at c relative to the source and setup as it propagates away from the source in the experiment. What are the implications of this observation? To start with, as I've pointed out in other posts of this blog, pro relativity theorists like de Sitter were incorrect in assuming light "piles up" on its journey to earth from a rotating double star system in what he called an emission model. Notice De Sitter incorrectly has light travelling away at *variable speeds* relative to the source to make it look like it piles up. A falsehood and a contradiction, because DeSitter claims he is modelling how light travels in a model where light always propagates away from the source at c relative to the source! But to continue: In a true light at c only relative to the source model as I am advocatimg, this means that ANY light that travels away from a source ALWAYS travels at c away from that source. Regardless of the observers motion relative to the source after the light has left the source.(Providing extinction does not significantly effect the speed of light propagating away from the source.) This can only mean that if a light source moves away at a particular velocity from an observer AFTER the light has travelled part way to the observer and extinction does not come into play, then ANY light that has already left the source gets "pulled back" from the observer by the same velocity. This indicates that faster than light, indeed instantaneous communication is possible. Contrary to the limits of c set by relativity. So for instance, if light travels away from a source becomes visible over time to an observer on a distant star system then simply by pulling the source back and forth relative to the observer watching this light arrive, this Doppler shifted "back and forth" information should become immediately visible to the observer even though they may be many light years distant from the source! Of course this involves the almost impossible task of keeping the source coherent and functioning over the many thousand of years it takes for the light to travel the stellar distances between source and observer. But for shorter solar system distances it should be possible to perform and test this theoretical prediction.
