Have you ever heard someone sworn in to promise to tell the "truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth..."

You really think they tell the truth? How naive...

For example, if they wanted to, I don't see why they couldn't just build a classified facility and not disclose the power level, and say it's classified. I don't know what would stop them from doing that.
So if you're trying to claim that they are lying about the maximum power level, I don't see any reason why they need to lie about that.
Is that what you're claiming and do you have any evidence?
And do you know that we could go to the fence around the facility measure the radiated power and make an estimate of the power level at the source? So if they did lie we could catch them in the lie.
Now if you're claim is that they're not telling us everything, that's no secret, they've already admitted some aspects of the research are classified.
But this still boils down to power. There's only so much you can do with such a low power level. If you think they're lying about the power level, prove it. It can be measured without having to go inside the facility.
The military's "HAARP Fact Sheet" says that the project is merely another ionospheric heater, like the small-scale ones currently conducting scientific research in Puerto Rico, Norway and the former Soviet Union. And HAARP's Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), prepared by the U.S. Air Force, claims that HAARP's power levels, though 10 times higher than any transmitted on Earth, will cause "no significant impacts to birds, aquatics or the atmosphere," according to James Boatwright, deputy assistant secretary of Air Force installations.
I already provided the evidence that the amount of power created by HAARP is less than the natural variation of power coming from the sun.

Also, what makes you think that HAARP doesn't have enough power to do what it's completely capable of doing? I would like to see your evidence of how much power is exactly needed to modify weather
You're right about the sun to some degree. Many of the ionized particles in the solar wind are diverted by the van allen belts, but the EM radiation from the sun (some of which we see as light, and some of which occurs at non-visible frequencies) is NOT diverted by the Van Allen belt.

The sun doesn't spew electrons directly up into the ionosphere. I'm not trying to be an ass but I really don't understand the connection you're making.
The ionosphere is a portion of the upper atmosphere, between the thermosphere and the exosphere, distinguished because it is ionized by solar radiation.
That's 1366 watts per square meter which filters down to about 1000 watts per square meter by the time it reaches the ground. Part of that 366 watts per square meter lost in the atmosphere, is used to heat the ionosphere.
The solar constant, a measure of flux density, is the amount of incoming solar electromagnetic radiation per unit area that would be incident on a plane perpendicular to the rays, at a distance of one astronomical unit (AU) (roughly the mean distance from the Sun to the Earth). ...The solar constant includes all types of solar radiation, not just the visible light. It is measured by satellite to be roughly 1.366 kilowatts per square meter (kW/m²).

The intensity of the HF signal in the ionosphere is less than 3 microwatts per cm^2, tens of thousands of times less than the Sun's natural electromagnetic radiation reaching the earth and hundreds of times less than even the normal random variations in intensity of the Sun's natural ultraviolet (UV) energy which creates the ionosphere.
If we were talking about bird deaths near the HAARP facility in Alaska I wouldn't rule it out. Talking about bird deaths in Louisiana, I would rule it out.

All I was trying to prove is that there's a *possibility* that HAARP can cause the bird deaths
