Soon enough, the Inner Party will not be able to control the people and will step down from power. A mountainous discharge towards the party will definitely overthrow Big Brother, but the main obstacle would be how the Proles are constantly under surveillance, meaning there would be no chance to plan an event.

Ever since 9/11, The NSA, the National Security Agency, increased its domestic surveillance in the United States to protect from foreign invaders and inside threats.
