No Honest Roberts you are lying again. You agree that both the
Michelson-Morley and Pound-Rebka experiments are "FULLY COMPATIBLE
WITH AN EMISSION THEORY OF LIGHT THAT CONTRADICTS THE LIGHT
POSTULATE":

Of course, elsewhere you claim that, even if "light in vacuum does not
travel at the invariant speed of the Lorentz transform", special
relativity "would be unaffected".
