Case Proposed by: Walter Semkiw, MD
Cases Affirmed through: Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session

Ted Cruz has the Political Style of Joseph McCarthy
I have been hesitant in posting this case, as it is a bit sensitive, but several ReincarnationResearch.com supporters have written to me speculating that Texas Senator Ted Cruz is the reincarnation of Senator Joseph McCarthy. Due to this interest, I will share the following.
I was watching a MSNBC television show featuring host Chris Matthews in early 2013. Mr. Matthews was reporting on Ted Cruz, who was questioning an Obama nominee using innuendos, per Chris’s observations. Chris made the statement that Cruz was using the same tactics employed by Joseph McCarthy, who became famous for using insinuations against liberals in accusing these individuals as being Communists.
Ted Cruz and Joseph McCarthy have a Similar Physical Appearance
Chris Matthews said that not only does Cruz act like McCarthy, but he also noted that there is a physical resemblance between McCarthy and Cruz. Chris Matthews made the following statement, which can be accessed at: Matthews on Cruz.
“I compared him to McCarthy,” Matthews said of Cruz. “I shouldn’t get into what people look like, but he does — he reminds me so much, when I look at him interrogating a witness on the Hill, he looks like Joe McCarthy.”
Physical resemblance in a particular incarnation is determined by the soul’s energy template, which is discussed in Principles of Reincarnation, and genetic factors. Judging by his name, Joe McCarthy is likely of Irish ancestry, while Ted Cruz has Latino heritage. If the soul of Joe McCarthy was born into an Asian or African-American family, physical appearance would be influenced by associated racial or hereditary physical features.
Joseph McCarthy and Ted Cruz have Similar Hand Postures-Pointing Fingers
The observation that Cruz resembles McCarthy has struck a chord and it has also been noted that both McCarthy and Cruz have demonstrated the habit of pointing the index finger to accentuate a statement.
Reincarnation research has found that postures can remain consistent from one incarnation to another. A dramatic example of how hand postures can remain consistent across lifetimes involves the case of Peter van Mussenbrock | Steve Wozniak. Mussenbrock, by the way, was a Dutch scientist who collaborated with Ben Franklin on electrical experiments (Steve Wozniak, a co-founder of Apple, is an electrical engineer). The Mussenbrock | Wozniak case, with hand posture comparisons, is featured in my books Born Again and Return of the Revolutionaries
In addition to Chis Matthews seeing parallels between Cruz and McCarthy, Rick Ungar, a contributor to Forbes, has written the following article: Ted Cruz-The Reincarnation of Joe McCarthy?
Other periodicals that have featured articles citing similarities between Cruz and McCarthy include the New York Times, The New Yorker, The Marietta Daily Journal, The National Review, the Washington Post, The Dallas Morning News and the Huffington Post.
Ted Cruz is Affirmed as the Reincarnation of Joseph McCarthy
Since reincarnation research does find that individuals can have the same physical appearance, personality traits and talents from one lifetime to another, I suspected that Ted Cruz may indeed be the literal reincarnation of Joseph McCarthy. In a session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re affirmed that Ted Cruz is the reincarnation of Joseph McCarthy.

The Ted Cruz Campaign to Defund Obamacare, his Filibuster & Push to Shut Down the US Federal Government
As noted, talents also come through from one incarnation to another. Joseph McCarthy was very adept at getting media attention and he used this skill in his crusade against Communism. Ted Cruz has this same ability.
Cruz made a marathon speech in Congress to defund Obamacare, he was the leading voice that led to the shutdown of the Federal Government in October 2013 and according to sources within his party, when his Republican colleagues demonstrated resistance to his siege mentality, Cruz reportedly said something to the effect that he is the “only pure Republican.” One can imagine that when Joseph McCarthy’s Republican colleagues resisted his Communist purge, one could imagine McCarthy arguing that he was the only true American.
Paul Ryan as the Reincarnation of Joseph McCarthy’s Campaign Manager, Urban van Susteren
Of interest, due to the Presidential campaign of 2012, I was wanted to derive past lifetimes for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Ahtun Re revealed that Paul Ryan was a close friend of Joe McCarthy and that he served as a political campaign adviser for McCarthy. After a little investigation, I found that the likely candidate was Urban van Susteren, who shares similar facial features with Ryan. Subsequently, Ahtun Re confirmed that Paul Ryan is the reincarnation of Urban van Susteren. Of interest, Urban van Susteren’s daughter is political commentator Greta van Susteren.
Past Lifetimes of Barack Obama, Mitt Romney and John McCain
Previously, Ahtun Re revealed a past lifetime for Mitt Romney, as well as past incarnations for Barack Obama, John McCain and John Kerry. These cases can be reviewed at:
Alman Babbitt | Mitt Romney
Lyman Trumbull | Barack Obama
Henry Clay | John McCain
Andrew Jackson | John Kerry
Joe McCarthy’s Alcoholism and Implications for Ted Cruz
Souls are born into physical existence carrying innate qualities of the soul, which are integrated with the biological and genetic characteristics of the body that they incarnate in. Joseph McCarthy was suspected of dying of alcoholism, an affliction that has genetic contributors. Souls who suffer alcoholism in one lifetime often ensure that they do not incarnate in a family with the same genetic predisposition, so that the experience is not repeated. Though Joseph McCarthy may have suffered from this disease, it does not mean that Ted Cruz has the same preposition, as he has different genetic inheritance.
It was stated that souls who have suffered genetic diseases can plan incarnations so they are born to parents without the same hereditary factors. To learn more about the planning of lifetimes, go to: Principles of Reincarnation
Ronald Reagan as the Reincarnation of American Revolutionary Luther Martin
One example of how a soul can suffer from alcoholism in one lifetime but not in another involves the reincarnation case of Luther Martin | Ronald Reagan, which is featured in my book, Return of the Revolutionaries. The story of Luther Martin, who was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, is told in a very entertaining, funny and candid way in Kevin Bleyer’s book, Me the People: One Man’s Selfless Quest to Rewrite the Constitution of the United States of America. In it, Kevin illustrates what the Constitutional Convention was really like, not the idealized version which is portrayed in conventional texts.
Jon Stewart as the Reincarnation of Henry Ward Beecher
Kevin Bleyer, by the way, was a writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Jon Stewart is identified on this website as the reincarnation of Henry Ward Beecher, who was a liberal, Christian minister in New York City during the US Civil War. Beecher was considered one of the most influential and famous men of his era, yet he was also as a “cut up,” someone who could naturally make others laugh.
Beecher had a private audience with Abraham Lincoln, as Lincoln sought Beecher’s political support.
There exists a striking similarity of facial features between Beecher and Stewart.

Common denominators between politicians, ministers and actors are an enjoyment of being in the public eye and the desire to have an impact on large groups of people or society. Another case in this genres is:
The Reincarnation Case of Millard Fillmore | Alec Baldwin
Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There is a similarity of facial features noted between Joseph McCarthy and Ted Cruz. In addition, it was noted that both have demonstrated similar hand postures, specifically of pointing the index finger. The other cases referenced above also show similar physical appearance from one lifetime to another.
Innate Past Life Talent: Joe McCarthy demonstrated political skill in becoming a Senator from Wisconsin, which Ted Cruz has replicated in becoming a Senator from Texas. Both have demonstrated conservative views and affiliations with the Republican Party. Both have demonstrated a talent to use the media in pursuit of goals, such as in Joseph McCarthy’s crusade against Communism and Ted Cruz’s crusade to defund Obamacare.
Relationships Renewed through Reincarnation: Though I don’t know if a personal relationship exists between Ted Cruz and Paul Ryan, they are both members of the US Congress and the Republican Party. As such, they should have some interaction. Paul Ryan has been identified as the reincarnation of Urban van Susteren, who was Joseph McCarthy’s friend, supporter and campaign adviser.
When Barack Obama rose upon the US national political stage with his 2008 run for the Presidency, many people wrote to me with the speculation that he is the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln. Though I did not think that it was a valid match, I asked Ahtun Re in a session with Kevin Ryerson whether it is possible that Obama is the reincarnation of Lincoln. Ahtun Re said, “No, but he was close to Lincoln.”
