You don't think the earth is a moving source? Its was certainly moving enough to disprove classical ether theory in MMx.

The light rays in a Newtonian theory will move at c+v wrt the source *when observed in the lab frame*. In SR, the light rays will merely be frequency shifted. Analysis in the rotational frame is more complicated, and outside the bounds of SR (though one might approximate it in various ways). Clearly, however, the effect works -- it's used today in large ships. -- #191, ewill3(a)earthlink.net New Technology? Not There.

As you said yourself, you only ASSUME it to be true. The actual result is that the speed of the light is independent of the speed of the source, which Einstein showed requires that flat space be Lorentz invariant, not Galilean invariant, and that in turn means your assumption which is based on Galilean invariance is incorrect.

There is an excellent article about how crackpots like you misunderstand the Sanac experiment on the mathpages. I gave you the link some time ago, check it out.

Don't use big meaningless words, George.
