http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/that-house-is-evil-former-tenant-reveals-tales-of-bannons-old-porn-and-meth-pad-in-florida/
While Bannon rented the house with his third ex-wife, they put padlocks on all the doors, installed video cameras, and had ruined the bathtub, kitchen counter, and floor. The landlord, Carlos Herrera, believed they were cooking and using meth in the house, and that they also used the property to film pornography.
Each person gave accounts that the house was used to film pornography, had a constant flow of men, women and even children at the house and that blatant drug use was occurring at all hours of the night and day, Curtis told Shareblue.
Bannon and his ex-wife had accumulated such a reputation that repairmen refused to come to the residence if the same people were living in the house because that house is evil and the people are evil,' Curtis said.

At other times, when he was allowed into the house to perform work, he observed topless and naked men and women and the constant presence of drugs, which they would sometimes offer to him, the report continues.

(110,900 posts)If this is true, why didn't the neighbors or a landlord call the cops on him?
At the time, he wasn't that big a wheel.

(11,339 posts)... to cook meth and film pornography involving children, did he call the police? Did he try to evict them?
If only he had been arrested, maybe our world would be a better place today.

(17,984 posts)I told the cops about all the drug use/selling, and they investigated. They could never catch the people, though. It took overdue rent to evict them. When they finally did get evicted, the landlord came to clean up the place. I'll never forget that there were 20+ lawn bags full of crap lining the curb. The landlord was kind of sleazy. He came across a picture he just had to save of two topless women all over each other. He even showed it to me like I would be proud of what had been happening downstairs the whole time I was living there.

EDIT
The book in question is The Total Rush or, to use its superior English title, Blitzed which reveals the astonishing and hitherto largely untold story of the Third Reichs relationship with drugs, including cocaine, heroin, morphine and, above all, methamphetamines (aka crystal meth), and of their effect not only on Hitlers final days the Führer, by Ohlers account, was an absolute junkie with ruined veins by the time he retreated to the last of his bunkers but on the Wehrmachts successful invasion of France in 1940. Published in Germany last year, where it became a bestseller, it has since been translated into 18 languages, a fact that delights Ohler, but also amazes him.
Its not only that he is as Der Spiegel helpfully pointed out a non-historian (the author of three novels and the co-writer of the Wim Wenders film Palermo Shooting, this is his first work of nonfiction). Its that there was anything new to be said at all. Arrange all the books that have been written about the Nazis end to end and theyd be longer than the Spree.
I guess drugs werent a priority for the historians, he says. A crazy guy like me had to come along. Still, crazy or not, he has done a remarkable job. If Blitzed is gripping, it is also convincing. Ian Kershaw, the British historian who is probably the worlds leading authority on Hitler and Nazi Germany, has described it as a serious piece of scholarship.

Thereafter, drugs were regarded as an effective weapon by high command, one that could be deployed against the greatest odds. In 1944-45, for instance, when it was increasingly clear that victory against the allies was all but impossible, the German navy developed a range of one-man U-boats; the fantastical idea was that these pint-sized submarines would make their way up the Thames estuary. But since they could only be used if the lone marines piloting them could stay awake for days at a time, Dr Gerhard Orzechowski, the head pharmacologist of the naval supreme command on the Baltic, had no choice but to begin working on the development of a new super-medication a cocaine chewing gum that would be the hardest drug German soldiers had ever taken. It was tested at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, on a track used to trial new shoe soles for German factories; prisoners were required to walk and walk until they dropped.
